The Veins Of This Town

(album: Sweet Poison - 2022)

Every headlight tells a story
Every face passing me by
There's a million lights before me
And a touch of perfume in the evening sky

I brush the shoulder of a young man
I hear a distant slamming door
An old lady's searching trash cans
And I wonder who she was twenty years ago

And oh all these lives
I'm gonna go and cross tonight

I hear your beating hearts
I feel every single one
Pumping blood
Through the veins of this town

All these towers made of concrete
They're all filled with flesh and blood
Behind those walls lives what I can't see
As I'm diving through the night getting lost in the flood

And so all these lives
I'm gonna go and cross tonight

I hear your beating hearts
I feel every single one
Pumping blood
Through the veins of this town

All the foot prints on the blacktop
They lead to something real
I close my eyes and breathe so I can feel

Every headlight tells a story
Every face passing me by

I hear your beating hearts
I feel every single one
Pumping blood
Through the veins of this town

I hear your beating hearts
Through the veins of this town
I hear your beating
I hear your beating
I hear your beating hearts
Through the veins of this town
