Roadbed Echoes

[Verse 1]
Streetlights bleed across the glass, tracing all that's undone,
Yellow line a pulsing seam, till the night is run.
Radio static, a familiar drone, for a voice that cuts through stone,
And finds the bedrock truth beneath this weight I've known.
The salt-stained air of hometown ghosts, a grit beneath my tongue.

[Chorus]
Roadbed echoes, won't let me sleep,
Just the fault lines where the shadows creep.
Miles are just sediment, I bury what I keep,
In the deep, where the restless currents sweep.

[Verse 2]
Passed the skeletal remains of towns they left behind,
Stories etched in weathered stone, for restless souls to find.
Every broken window pane, reflects a hopeful light,
Pushing back the endless dark, through this endless night.
And the dust on my boots tells tales of every climb.

[Chorus]
Roadbed echoes, won't let me sleep,
Just the fault lines where the shadows creep.
Miles are just sediment, I bury what I keep,
In the deep, where the restless currents sweep.

[Bridge]
Maybe home's a moving target, a compass in the dust,
A silent promise carved in rock, an act of defiant trust.

[Chorus]
Roadbed echoes, won't let me sleep,
Just the fault lines where the shadows creep.
Miles are just sediment, I bury what I keep,
In the deep, where the restless currents sweep.

[Outro]
Just the hum of wheels on stone, and the distant city's gleam,
Chasing dawn through a 2am dream.
