Track Insight / Lyrics
Fluorescent tubes hum above the floor
Buzzing like a hive behind a closed door
Blood streaks stretch down the pale green wall
Night shift cleaner scrubs but misses it all
Tube light testament, flicker and fade
Corridor confessional, debts unpaid
Taximeter ticks on the graveyard run
Morning comes slow behind the smoking gun
Stale coffee sits in a chipped ceramic cup
Files stacked high like a tombstone erupt
The clock hands freeze at three seventeen
Ghost of a meeting never seen
Rain taps rhythm on the taxi roof
Driver lights a cigarette, tells the truth
Every corridor holds a secret sin
Cleaners come but the stains stay in
Tube light testament, flicker and fade
Corridor confessional, debts unpaid
Taximeter ticks on the graveyard run
Morning comes slow behind the smoking gun
Hammond organ sighs through the ventilation grate
Brass section muted, sealing the fate
Hollowbody guitar chugs low and deep
Promises the night watchman keeps
Dawn bleeds through the blinds, thin and gray
Blood streaks fade but the memory stays
Meter drops, the fare is paid in full
Another night written on the skull
Tube light testament, flicker and fade
Corridor confessional, debts unpaid
Taximeter ticks on the graveyard run
Morning comes slow behind the smoking gun
Engine dies, the meter goes dark
Tube light testament leaves its mark
