This track is part of the upcoming synthwave album Neon Empires: Coal & Brass which is a retro-futuristic saga set in a shattered world where the Great War scorched the earth, forcing survivors to cling to massive floating islands ruled by tyrannical sky-barons. In this realm of glowing neon spires and soot-blackened engine pits, rogue captains navigate steamship sky-freighters through acid storms and war-torn clouds chasing forbidden love, mythical grounds below, clockwork companions, and sparks of rebellion. From desperate bountied pursuits and coal-fueled uprisings to heartbreaking automaton romances, these songs weave tales of defiance, longing, and fragile hope amid the coal dust and brass gears. Drift into the violet horizons... the empire awaits your rebellion.

[lyrics]

Steam hisses through brass veins, 3 a.m. again
I throttle up the old girl, cut the mooring chains
Islands drift like slow comets in violet haze
Each one promising something that tomorrow erases
Chrome harpoons, velvet fog, searchlights slice the clouds
Another sky-port brothel with a heartbeat bass too loud
Girls with fiber-optic hair and mercury tears
Sell me thirty minutes of love measured in gears

I’m just a ghost in a greatcoat, coal dust on my soul
Flying city to city on a furnace that never gets cold
Every docking tower asks the same damn thing
“Got a name for the manifest, captain… or just the ring?”

I’m chasing love on a steamship sky-freighter
Through fractured heavens where the stars all hate her
From Avalon-9 to the spires of New Kowloon
I burn whole forests of coal just to howl at the moon
If you’re out there, light a flare in the acid rain
I’ll drop the gangway, kill the engines, forget the pain
Till then I’m only vapors and vaporwave cries
A lonely operator lost in neon skies

Logbook full of coordinates, lipstick stains, and regrets
Every island leaves a scar shaped like silhouettes
There was a dancer in Port Heisenberg with hypnotic hips
She whispered forever, then vanished in eclipse
On Sky Kyoto I met a hacker with eyes like broken code
She patched my heart with copper wire, then overload
Said “Real love doesn’t run on steam, it runs on trust”
Left me coughing sparks and rust

I’m just a ghost in a greatcoat, coal dust on my soul
Flying city to city on a furnace that never gets cold

I’m chasing love on a steamship sky-freighter
Through electric storms where the angels all hate her
From the glass reefs of Echelon to the bone-lit docks of Neo-Shanghai
I’ll keep circling the globe one more hopeless time
If you’re out there, light a flare in the acid rain
Tune your heart to 88.3, baby, baby answer me
Till then I’m only vapors and vaporwave cries
Your lonely operator lost in neon skies

This ship’s older than the war older than the fall
Hull plates still remember when the ground had it all
But I keep her flying, because stopping means dying
And dying means never finding you

Yeah I’m still chasing love on a steamship sky-freighter
Across these burning skies that never learn to save her
If you hear this transmission on pirate frequency
Light a flare, tune to 88.3, come find me
Till then I’m only vapors and vaporwave cries
Your lonely operator lost in neon skies

Engines down to quarter drifting slow
Somewhere below, another island starts to glow
Next one’s the one, or the one after that...
