Track Insight / Lyrics
Flour dust on apron strings
Pendulum swings on hidden springs
Ledger pages yellowed deep
Apprentice nods in stolen sleep
Basement pendulum keeps the beat
While the world upstairs moves its feet
Oil and parchment, grease and gear
Silent seconds linger near
Pie crust cooling on the rack
Gears aligned along the back
Cinnamon scent meets brass and steel
Midnight meal for wounds that heal
Basement pendulum keeps the beat
While the world upstairs moves its feet
Oil and parchment, grease and gear
Silent seconds linger near
Regulars know the order well
Eggs over easy, stories tell
Down below the tick stays true
Library breathes in midnight blue
Basement pendulum keeps the beat
While the world upstairs moves its feet
Oil and parchment, grease and gear
Silent seconds linger near
Wrench rests on the velvet cloth
Apprentice dreams of hands and growth
Each tick a stitch in borrowed time
Beneath the floor, a patient chime
Steam rises from the ceramic cup
Gears inhale, then slowly up
No rush here, no frantic race
Just dust and oil in resting place
Morning light cracks through the grate
Night shift ends on heavy plate
Apprentice wakes with oil-stained thumb
Clockwork heart keeps coming home
Basement pendulum keeps the beat
While the world upstairs moves its feet
Oil and parchment, grease and gear
Silent seconds linger near
Basement pendulum calls me dear
Coffee cold, the shift is done
Time keeps turning, everyone
