Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Engines murmur low beneath the metal of my feet, A quiet pulse that settles where the vast horizons meet. Steel-slide whispers downward through the cold and empty sway, Tracing every wandering thought I lost along the way. [Pre-Chorus] Static curls along the rail, Soft as secrets grown too stale. A distant sax begins to trail— Like breath across a dream gone pale. [Chorus] Shadows on the freightline, Trailing far beyond the fault of time. Each note drifts out in a broken rhyme— A whispered truth I can’t define. [Verse 2] Saxophone sighs low, a voice I almost recognize, Filling out the spaces where regret and promise lie. Cargo shifts behind me like a restless memory, And the open-tuned reflection hums a lonely elegy. [Pre-Chorus] Half a heartbeat, half a plea, Carried through the air to me. Every tone a quiet key— Unlocking what I meant to be. [Chorus] Shadows on the freightline, Moving soft through the cosmic brine. Echoes stretch in a fractured line— Reaching toward a distant sign. [Bridge] – Sax Feature The sax leans into the silence with a trembling, human ache, Breathing warmth into the cold that the vacuum couldn’t break. Notes bend slow like footsteps from a life I left behind, Falling through the starlit dark in patterns undefined. [Final Chorus] Shadows on the freightline, Walking close though the road’s not mine. Let the sax fade out in a slow decline— And carry what I can’t consign.
