The Midnight Cartographer

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold steel against my spine
Ascending the vertical line
Cans rattle in the bag
A silver-tongued zigzag
The city sleeps in grey
I paint the night away
[Pre-Chorus]
Glitch in the grid
What the masters hid
I’m tracing the spark
A ghost in the dark
[Chorus]
I am the star-maker
The concrete soul-taker
Spray-painting Orion
On towers of iron
Let the constellations glow
Where the tired people go
Higher than the neon glare
I’m breathing the electric air
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Leap from the ledge
Dancing on the edge
Drill sounds in the distance
My quietest resistance
Indigo on glass
Watching the hours pass
The ranat ek sings
Of invisible wings
[Drop]
[Bridge]
They look up but never see
The map I’ve left for free
A galaxy of grime
Frozen in time
My signature is light
Wholly out of sight
[Hook]
I am the star-maker
The concrete soul-taker
Spray-painting Orion
On towers of iron
Let the constellations glow
Where the tired people go
Higher than the neon glare
I’m breathing the electric air
[Post-Chorus]
Indigo, indigo, indigo
Watch the stars grow
Indigo, indigo, indigo
Before the sun shows
[Outro]
