From the recording Departure Music
Lyrics
Transparencies
In the corner of the avenue,
Where the neon bleeds through rain,
I found solace in the shadows,
In a city soaked in pain.
I'm a ghost within this twilight,
Fading fast, but still remain,
In the haze of cold abandon,
Lost, but I can't feel the chain.
In the end, I feel the silence,
Of the spaces in between,
And I’m living in transparencies,
Fading like a photograph,
In a world that won't remember me,
Just a shadow, heart attack.
And the echoes of my history,
Whispered by the passing breeze,
I'm a soul that's left to wander,
In this city, on its knees.
Empty bottles tell the story
Of a life that's slipped away,
Every hit a memory,
Of the days I used to pray.
In the underbelly's heartbeat,
In the alleys filled with shame,
I see faces in the darkness,
But they never know my name.
In the end, I feel the silence,
Of the spaces in between,
And I’m living in transparencies,
Fading like a photograph,
In a world that won't remember me,
Just a shadow, heart attack.
And the echoes of my history,
Whispered by the passing breeze,
I'm a soul that's left to wander,
In this city, on its knees.
I hear the whispers in the night,
Of the lives that pass me by,
In the corners of their vision,
Just a flicker in their eye.
But they never see the scars I wear,
Or the battles that I fight,
Losing my way again
In the quiet of the night.
And I’m living in transparencies,
Fading like a photograph,
In a world that won't remember me,
Just a shadow, heart attack.
And the echoes of my history,
Whispered by the passing breeze,
I'm a soul that's left to wander,
In this city, on its knees.
