Track Insight / Lyrics
Headlights bleed across the bay
Another train has slipped away
Steel sighs, a lonely drone
Waiting here, utterly alone
Salt spray kisses rusted rail
Empty benches tell a tale
Of schedules missed and hurried feet
Lost connections on this concrete street
Steel and static, a whispered plea
For a face I thought would wait for me
The city breathes a neon glow
Watching ferries come and go
The harbor lights, a fractured dream
Reflecting in the oily sheen
Of rain-slicked docks and shadowed piers
Counting minutes, fighting back the tears
Steel and static, a whispered plea
For a face I thought would wait for me
The city breathes a neon glow
Watching ferries come and go
A chipped mug warms my frozen hands
Ghosts of laughter on these forgotten lands
The scent of diesel, brine, and coal
A hollow ache within my soul
Steel and static, a whispered plea
For a face I thought would wait for me
The city breathes a neon glow
Watching ferries come and go
Each passing wave, a rhythmic sigh
Another hour drifting by
The platform hums a low refrain
Lost in echoes of the rain
Steel and static, a desperate cry
For a hand to reach, before I die
The city sleeps, a silver haze
Lost in these long, forgotten days
Just the steel, just the gray
Fading shadows slip away
Static crackles, soft and low
Nowhere left to go.
