Worn Bearing

[Verse 1]
Streetlight bleeds on rusted chrome, a flicker in the grey,
My internal engine shudders, fading with the day.
Another chassis passing, a murmur on the breeze,
Collecting dust, a quiet rust, among the city's trees.

[Chorus]
Ghosted hum, a low, slow groan,
Fading torque, forever flown.
This heavy concrete, all we've known,
A broken bearing, left alone.

[Verse 2]
High-rise shadows crawl and stretch, a silent, hollow gaze,
Tracing stories in exhaust fumes, lost within the maze.
Every whisper from the pavement, a forgotten, broken seal,
Just the friction of the moments, nothing left to feel.

[Chorus]
Ghosted hum, a low, slow groan,
Fading torque, forever flown.
This heavy concrete, all we've known,
A broken bearing, left alone.

[Bridge]
No more speed, no sudden rush, just shadows holding tight,
A melancholic drift through time, in the fading city light.
This worn-down system, full of cracks, still beats a rhythm low,
A sorrowful resilience, as the phantom whispers grow.

[Chorus]
Ghosted hum, a low, slow groan,
Fading torque, forever flown.
This heavy concrete, all we've known,
A broken bearing, left alone.

[Outro]
The distant thrum, a memory's call,
Echoes in the empty hall.
