Track Insight / Lyrics
Silver case turns ochre brown
Quercus roots creep underground
Gears grind soft in silica sand
Artemisia guards the land
Brass roots drink the morning light
Metal blooms in pale sunlight
Patina spreads like lichen skin
Seasons turn the lock within
Hands freeze at three seventeen
Opuntia shadows intervene
Spring unwinds in copper dust
Sphaeralcea blooms in rust
Brass roots drink the morning light
Metal blooms in pale sunlight
Patina spreads like lichen skin
Seasons turn the lock within
Glass face clouds with mineral veil
Yucca spines trace time's slow trail
Escapement clicks in rhythm deep
While agave secrets keep
Brass roots drink the morning light
Metal blooms in pale sunlight
Patina spreads like lichen skin
Seasons turn the lock within
Crown unscrews, the stem gives way
Ephedra drinks the fading day
Mainspring sighs, a metallic breath
Creosote scents the air with death
Iron oxidizes, patient, slow
Botany claims what hours sow
No winding key can reverse
The desert's quiet, green curse
Caseback opens to the sky
Sporobolus roots pry inside
Tiny screws return to ore
Time becomes the soil once more
Brass roots drink the morning light
Metal blooms in pale sunlight
Patina spreads like lichen skin
Seasons turn the lock within
Brass roots drink the morning light
Silica embraces gear and spring
Watch becomes a living thing
