Track Insight / Lyrics
Flicker of the platform light
Dust motes dancing in the night
Lost and found in shades of grey
Another train pulls far away
Cracked porcelain under my shoes
Every chipped corner whispers blues
A faded map of where to go
But I already lost control, you know?
This grid of stations, steel and stone
Feels more like a place I've always known
Tile ghosts beneath my feet
Lost connections, bittersweet
Every line a story told
Of leaving someone out in the cold
Tile ghosts, a silent plea
This city swallowed up me.
Graffiti roses bloom on the wall
Echoes answering freedom's call
A busker's saxophone, soft and low
A rhythm only lost souls know
Polaroid flashes, grainy and bright
Capturing moments in the fading light.
Tile ghosts beneath my feet
Lost connections, bittersweet
Every line a story told
Of leaving someone out in the cold
Tile ghosts, a silent plea
This city swallowed up me.
A woman's laugh, a hurried pace
A stranger's sorrow on a tired face
Headphones blasting, blocking the sound
Trying to build a world around
Each passing train a silver streak
A future promised, fragile and weak.
Tile ghosts beneath my feet Lost connections, bittersweet
Every line a story told
Of leaving someone out in the cold
Tile ghosts, a silent plea
This city swallowed up me.
This underground heartbeat, pulsing slow
A hidden current, where lost dreams flow
I trace the routes with a hopeful hand
Searching for a promised land
These chipped edges, worn and gray
Show me where I ran away.
Empty benches, stained and worn
Promises broken, lessons learned
The scent of diesel, sharp and keen
A lonely, haunting, subway scene
I'm chasing shadows, running free
A runaway portrait of me.
Tile ghosts beneath my feet
Lost connections, bittersweet
Every line a story told
Of leaving someone out in the cold
Tile ghosts, a silent plea
This city swallowed up me!
Flicker and fade, the train departs
Leaving echoes in my heart
Tile ghosts… tile ghosts…
Lost in the city, counting the costs.
