Track Insight / Lyrics
Dusk descends on brick streets cold
Whispers of lives long since grown old
But amidst this storied, ancient ground
Lies a secret world, unseen around
In city's thrum, where steel meets stone
A fragile winged creature calls this home
Pale, minute, yet a marvel of design
Perching on a curve of the sidewalk line
Shrinking from the city's gleaming light
It settles, resting from the night's flight
Drinking in the patina of old
As passersby, oblivious, hurry by, untaught
What tales this ancient brick could tell
Of laughter, tears, of whispers left unsaid
But the moth would listen, if it could hear
As time's relentless march erases all fear
In sheltered crevices 'neath the night
It finds solace from the city's blinding light
Pale wings folded tight, a secret kept
From the world that moves, the world it'd never keep
With each new dawn, it spreads its wings anew
Dusting off, anointed with the city's dew
Then, swallowed up in rising light and haze
It disappears, leaving just a whisper's traces
The echoes of a thousand footsteps pass
The heat of breath upon its delicate glass
Yet still it perseveres, this fleeting life
A gentle touch, a whispered, asymptotic strife
In sheltered crevices 'neath the night
It finds solace from the city's blinding light
Pale wings folded tight, a secret kept
From the world that moves, the world it'd never keep
In this urban tapestry, so bold and bright
Is a quiet weave of life, the moth's pale sight
A ghostly silhouette, a fleeting glance
Yet, in its heart, a fierce determination dance
In sheltered crevices 'neath the night
It finds solace from the city's blinding light
Pale wings folded tight, a secret kept
From the world that moves, the world it'd never keep
So the moth descends, as dusk draws near
To ease its weary wings, and banish fear
For in the city's heart, in secret places found
Lies solace, shelter, and the world unbound.
