Track Insight / Lyrics
I linger by the motel parking lot, breathing in the night
Damp shadow of a lonesome palm tree casts a hazy silhouette
A passing wind carries the scent of jasmine, memory's perfume
Though I'm a ghost town water main, my heart still beats, a flaw
In the city's mirror, I see a ghostly apparition
Reflections dancing, a secret show in the glass stitching
Oh the truth we hide from strangers'
eyes the life we choose to live
Glancing back, I spot a fleeting image, a story left untold
A wiry thread of silver lace that connects my soul to mine
Time was when lonely was my
middle name my personal claim to fame
But now I'm a spider in the moonlight, spinning silver webs to ease my name
In this urban landscape shadows have
a life a will of their own
They whisper tales of transience, the ghosts that haunt the dawn
In the city's mirror, I see a ghostly apparition
Reflections dancing, a secret show in the glass stitching
Oh, the truth we hide from strangers' eyes, the life we choose to live
Glancing back, I spot a fleeting image, a story left untold
A wiry thread of silver lace that connects my soul to mine
Perhaps in someone else's hands, I'd find a different fate
But I'm chained to these city streets, a prisoner of my own debate
To break free from this enthrallment
I need a vision to ignite
A beacon to pierce the neon haze and guide me through the endless night
In the city's mirror, I see a ghostly apparition
Reflections dancing, a secret show in the glass stitching
Oh the truth we hide from strangers'
eyes the life we choose to live
Glancing back, I spot a fleeting image, a story left untold
A wiry thread of silver lace that connects my soul to mine
Disappearing into the shadows, into the streets, into the night
As the neon lights dissolve, I fade, a ghost in sparkling reflection's light
