Track Insight / Lyrics

Iron carriage rests on rusted rail Mist climbs cables where the swallows sail Black ribbon feeds through frozen teeth Paper waits beneath the bridge's breath No hands to strike the waiting keys Fog eats the river's silver skin Typebars sleep where dust begins Each letter drowned before it speaks Silence writes what language seeks Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Ink stains water, disappears Bridge holds secrets, typewriter keeps Current carries what the paper sweeps Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears QWERTY layout spelled in verdigris Spacebar stuck on centuries Shift key frozen in the up position Margin bells ring without condition Ghost fingers hover, never press Fog eats the river's silver skin Typebars sleep where dust begins Each letter drowned before it speaks Silence writes what language seeks Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Ink stains water, disappears Bridge holds secrets, typewriter keeps Current carries what the paper sweeps Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Ribbon spools unwind in slow motion Feeding current's dark devotion Capital letters sink like stones Lowercase drift as water bones Period marks where the sentence ends Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Ink stains water, disappears Bridge holds secrets, typewriter keeps Current carries what the paper sweeps Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Carriage return, a rusted bell Tolls the hour no one hears well Platen turns with river's rhythm Manuscript sinks in liquid prism Final page feeds, no margin left Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Ink stains water, disappears Bridge holds secrets, typewriter keeps Current carries what the paper sweeps Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Dawn breaks mist to pale parchment light Keys shine cold in morning white Ribbon exhausted, ink spent dry Machine and river synchronize Last sentence written, none to read Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Ink stains water, disappears Bridge holds secrets, typewriter keeps Current carries what the paper sweeps Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Black ribbon pulls through midnight gears Ribbon still. Water still. Hum the key strikes low and slow
