Ethereal Echoes - Subway Ghost Shift Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Morning train, routine in motion
Badge and bag, postal devotion
Newark's veins run deep below
September sky, I didn't know
That everything would change today
As metal snakes slither away

[Chorus]
Underground, we're all the same
Playing out this twisted game
Strangers' eyes meet mine in fear
As sirens echo, drawing near
Hell's breaking loose up there somewhere
While we're trapped in transit's prayer

[Verse 2]
Letters in my bag grow heavy
Like the air that's thick and steady
Portuguese prayers fill the car
While phones keep ringing near and far
Bad reception underground
But panic needs no f*cking sound

[Bridge]
Metallic taste upon my tongue
As normality comes undone
The weight of mail I'll never send
To people who might meet their end
God damn this helpless feeling now
While chaos reigns, we're wondering how

[Verse 3]
Train stops dead between the stations
Shared breaths, shared anticipation
Ash falls softly through the vents
Like snow that brings no innocence
The city's heart beats wild above
While down below we count our love

[Chorus]
Underground, we're all the same
Playing out this twisted game
Strangers' eyes meet mine in fear
As sirens echo, drawing near
Hell's breaking loose up there somewhere
While we're trapped in transit's prayer

[Outro]
Years have passed, but still I ride
These metal tubes where fear resides
Each morning commute reminds me how
Life changed forever, here and now
In Newark's veins, we carry on
Through darkness until break of dawn
