Track Insight / Lyrics
I watch Taxodium distichum kneel
Knees pierced deep in peat and steel
Sphagnum drinks the tinted glow
Pistia floats where currents flow
Bayou breathes in sodium light
Cypress shadows stretch through night
I buzz patient, quartz and glass
Guarding porch where moments pass
Spanish moss wears Tillandsia lace
Epiphytes claim their hanging place
Crickets stridulate in rhythm code
While I pulse my electric ode
Bayou breathes in sodium light
Cypress shadows stretch through night
I buzz patient, quartz and glass
Guarding porch where moments pass
Iris virginica lifts its sword
Guarding banks where waters stirred
My tubes bend but never break
For the porch and water's sake
Bayou breathes in sodium light
Cypress shadows stretch through night
I buzz patient, quartz and glass
Guarding porch where moments pass
Photosynthesis in reverse
Light eats dark, a quiet curse
Chlorophyll in argon veins
Roots remember summer rains
Dawn will bleed through Taxodium crown
Dew on glass, the night walks down
But until the sun claims throne
I keep watch, rooted, alone
Bayou breathes in sodium light
Cypress shadows stretch through night
I buzz patient, quartz and glass
Guarding porch where moments pass
Neon sleeps in morning mist
Roots drink deep, the bayou kissed
