Track Insight / Lyrics
Behind the shed where mint runs wild
A brass disc sleeps, a patient child
Quercus roots embrace the steel
Time dissolves in chlorophyll
Seconds stretch like tendrils deep
Minutes bloom in silent sleep
Hours root in nitrogen
Centuries germinate again
The watch ticks slow in loam below
Gears turn soft where taproots grow
Brass heart beats in cellulose time
No hands to wind, no clock to chime
Moss carpets crown and gilded stem
Lichen writes a diadem
Yew tree shadows guard the face
Spring unwinds in measured grace
Seconds stretch like tendrils deep
Minutes bloom in silent sleep
Hours root in nitrogen
Centuries germinate again
The watch ticks slow in loam below
Gears turn soft where taproots grow
Brass heart beats in cellulose time
No hands to wind, no clock to chime
Workshop door swings on rusted hinge
Cuttings root in terracotta fringe
She speaks in Latin, calm and low
Time flies but roots still grow
No battery, no digital glow
Just oscillation, calm and slow
Phloem carries rhythm now
Xylem draws the moments through
The watch ticks slow in loam below
Gears turn soft where taproots grow
Brass heart beats in cellulose time
No hands to wind, no clock to chime
Seasons turn the pages thin
Annual rings replace the spring
The watch remains, the garden grows
Where time and timber interpose
The watch ticks slow in loam below
Gears turn soft where taproots grow
Brass heart beats in cellulose time
No hands to wind, no clock to chime
The watch ticks slow in loam below
Gears turn soft where taproots grow
Pizzicato fades to root and soil
Brass sleeps deep in botanical coil
