lyrics
Same time, same place, I battle with routine. Monotony sickens me. “Don’t jump; you have so much to live for,” I used to tell myself - but today I’ll soar. Hobble once more to the top of the steps. Dragging feet noiseless in the morning rush. Slink to the far side and wait; I can hear my time approaching.
Across the platform, it’s too late. A shower of blue confirms... The coward who must live - and the hero who must take his life is gone.
Perhaps the crowd was just too much. So here I sit, here I watch. “Don’t jump,” they’d say were I suspended above. Let them dissipate and I’ll be free to bound.
One could easily be led to believe that too much waiting leads to disarray, facilitating regret and introspection; the stuff of abandon. However, the opposite is true in my case. What I long for is not recognition or any kind of positive reinforcement, nor am I searching for outside influence to bring about a change of heart. Because in this world of black and white, I chose red.
Forever teetering on the rails. No tunnel, no light. It’s clear as day that home is miles and miles away. Across the platform, it’s too late. A shower of blue confirms as it spreads through emptiness. The shock in the last eyes I saw. The sirens that came as they pulled the brakes.

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-)
