Track Insight / Lyrics
The worn, smooth leather, thrums beneath my hands
Echoes of the past, as I work in the city's canyons
Winter's chill seeps in, but here, where I stand
Time stands still, a cloistered world, just as it was planned
Cobblestones worn, from centuries of tread
Grainy, ashen, bearing witness to the dead
I'll buff and polish, the story they reveal
Each scarred and pitted character, a tale to conceal
In the stillness, shadows loom and dance
The alleyway's a tomb, where dreams and hopes exchange
Opportunity's a siren, that lures the brave and bold
But here, I'm anchored, to this task, this leather to mold
So I'll lost myself, in the rhythm of the buff
As the leather yields, and stories start to huff
From every worn crease, a narrative unfurls
A lost world whispers secrets, as my hands whirl
The buckle's rusted, the strap's frayed and weak
A relic of a life, in fetters now meek
I'll breathe new life, into each groove and seam
As memories resurface, like apparitions from a dream
In the stillness, shadows loom and dance
The alleyway's a tomb, where dreams and hopes exchange
Opportunity's a siren, that lures the brave and bold
But here, I'm anchored, to this task, this leather to mold
So I'll lost myself, in the rhythm of the buff
As the leather yields, and stories start to huff
From every worn crease, a narrative unfurls
A lost world whispers secrets, as my hands whirl
The city's din fades, as I descend into the hush
The leather's secrets, I've only glimpsed
But in the quiet, I'll uncover more, I rush
Through stains, through scars, through the leather's furrows and sores
Leather's Lament, a hymn for the forgotten
Echoes of lives, in the city's current
Polished steel, worn leather, the rhythm never falters
As the past comes alive, in every scrape and stratters
So I'll lose myself, in the rhythm of the buff
As the leather yields, and stories start to huff
From every worn crease, a narrative unfurls
A lost world whispers secrets, as my hands whirl
The leather's done, the tale complete
In the city's heart, where shadows meet
I'll put it down, and walk away
But the stories linger, as the day fades to gray
