Lyrics

The tires hum a low frequency against the chilled asphalt
Tracing the silver veins of a city that never exhales
I am guided by the glass towers and the ghost of a fault
Watching the dashboard glow as the daylight pales
The leather breathes beneath me in this polished shell
A sanctuary moving through the velvet crush of the dark
There is a story here that the shadows refuse to tell
Between the steady pulse and the dying of a spark
The city is a blueprint etched in cold sapphire light

[chorus]
We are drifting on the edges of a grand design
There is a grace in the way we surrender to the night
Crossing every border and every painted line
The engine is a steady heart beating out the miles
And though the sky is heavy with a heavy grey weight
I can see the flicker of a thousand distant smiles
In the silence of the motion we are deciding our fate

[verse]
The chrome reflects the architecture of a lonely dream
Every streetlamp is a sentinel standing in the rain
We are more than just the static or the moving stream
We are the steady hand that is letting go of the pain
The transmission shifts like a secret being shared
Moving with a fluid motion through the concrete maze
I am finding beauty in the way the world is bared
Underneath the coldness of the artificial haze
The city is a blueprint etched in cold sapphire light

[chorus]
We are drifting on the edges of a grand design
There is a grace in the way we surrender to the night
Crossing every border and every painted line
The engine is a steady heart beating out the miles
And though the sky is heavy with a heavy grey weight
I can see the flicker of a thousand distant smiles
In the silence of the motion we are deciding our fate

[verse]
There is no destination only the clarity of the turn
The speedometer measures the distance from the past
In the cooling of the metal there is a lesson to learn
About the things that vanish and the things that last
The skyline is a jagged tooth biting at the stars
But the road ahead is a ribbon of endless black silk
We are healing the fractures and the hidden scars
Drowning out the bitterness with the honey and the milk
The clock on the console marks the passing of the age
The reflection in the window is a face I used to know
But I am turning over a clean and vacant page
Watching how the embers of the midnight start to glow
The tires hum a low frequency against the chilled asphalt
The sanctuary moves through the velvet crush of the dark
There is a sudden ending to every lingering fault
In the steady pulse and the rising of a spark

[chorus]
The city is a blueprint etched in cold sapphire light
We are drifting on the edges of a grand design
There is a grace in the way we surrender to the night
Crossing every border and every painted line
The engine is a steady heart beating out the miles
And though the sky is heavy with a heavy grey weight
I can see the flicker of a thousand distant smiles
In the silence of the motion we are deciding our fate
The city is a blueprint etched in cold sapphire light
We are drifting on the edges of a grand design
There is a grace in the way we surrender to the night
Crossing every border and every painted line
The engine is a steady heart beating out the miles
And though the sky is heavy with a heavy grey weight
I can see the flicker of a thousand distant smiles
In the silence of the motion we are deciding our fate
