Track Insight / Lyrics
In secret chambers, the city holds its breath
Morning's chill still lingered on stone pavement, cold
Waiting for the first café tables to unfold
Streamers of vapor rising in the Roman air
Anticipation builds, the square stirs to life
Shadows lengthening, whispers of a city's strife
But I'll bide my time, inside these worn leather hides
Masked from the world, yet listening to the night's tides
No need for motion, stasis in the stone I'll find
The city's heartbeat echoes through this quiet mind
Distant sirens wail, a symphony of sounds
Forgotten brick and mortar, secrets buried deep in grounds
Forgotten graffiti whispers in the breeze that comes
Echoes of the past, in the present they resume
My boots rest still, by Basilica's marble flank
As the sun rises on this ancient Roman land
Ownership, history, the weight of what's been claimed
None of it touches me, here in this quiet square I've named
Café lights begin to flicker on, the square hums
Locals greet each other, the world's a gentler drum
I slip my gloves on, the leather smooth as my thought
In the city's heart, my solitary cog
The motor of the world, the stillness that I've sought
But I'll bide my time, inside these worn leather hides
Masked from the world, yet listening to the night's tides
No need for motion, stasis in the stone I'll find
The city's heartbeat echoes through this quiet mind
In this stone square, where shadows meet the light
I find my refuge, my sanctuary in the night
No need for companions, my thoughts are my guide
The world moves on, but here I'll abide
My gloves, like sentinels, stand watch over my soul
As the city's pulse races on, its stories yet untold
But for now, in stillness, I am free to roam
In the ancient stones, my own beat has found a home
In secret chambers, the city holds its breath
Morning's chill still lingers, but my repose is death
To the world's tempo, I remain apart
A stasis in the stone, at the heart of the city's heart.
