Title: First Impressions on the Midnight Train
Verse 1
The neon flicker cuts across your face
You sized me up and decided my place
Before the ice in your glass could even melt
You wore your boredom like a heavy velvet belt
A cold hello, a sharp turn of your head
Leaving all the unspoken words for dead.
Chorus
But the ship is sinking in the harbor tonight
While you wash your hands in the pale moonlight
Yeah, you built the fortress to keep everyone out
Now you’re drowning alone in your own pocket of doubt
Go on and walk away from the wreck
With your silver chains still around your neck.
Verse 2
I watched you poison the well with a smile
Practicing your exit strategy all the while
You claim you hate the drama and the noise
But you treat human hearts like dispensable toys
Another name crossed off your little black book
Before you even gave me a second look.
Chorus
Because the ship is sinking in the harbor tonight
While you wash your hands in the pale moonlight
Yeah, you built the fortress to keep everyone out
Now you’re drowning alone in your own pocket of doubt
Go on and walk away from the wreck
With your silver chains still around your neck.
Bridge
(Drums drop to a steady heartbeat rhythm, guitar echoes)
First impressions are a dangerous game
When you burn the bridge before you know my name
(Guitars swell with heavy fuzz distortion)
But the water is rising up to your knees
And your cold shoulder can’t stop the freeze!
Outro
(Guitar solo fades out into a solo bassline)
Yeah, look at the wreck.
Silver chains around your neck.
Sinking down.
Sinking down.
