Track Insight / Lyrics
She clicks the shutter, frost on lens
Bus tires hiss on mountain bends
Brass gears spill from pocket seam
Time unspools like cigarette steam
Negative wind burns chemical skin
Temple wakes where she begins
Stone lions guard the buried gate
Snow swallows steps at four AM
Watch hands crawl on copper face
Minutes dissolve in frozen space
Shutter clicks on burial stone
She walks where no path has shown
Brass unraveling in snow
Temple breathes where winds don't blow
Pocket watch forgets to tick
Heart beats steady, cold and quick
Film canisters rattle in coat
Shutter clicks on burial boat
Stone ribs curve through permafrost
Camera captures what was lost
Lens cap clicks, aperture wide
Snow temple has nowhere to hide
Brass unraveling in snow
Temple breathes where winds don't blow
Pocket watch forgets to tick
Heart beats steady, cold and quick
No bus schedule, no return
Just brass teeth that cease to turn
She frames the dark with frozen breath
Life clicks on despite the death
Driver honks, the diesel coughs
She pockets time and steps off
Negative strips hang from pine
Developing in glacier time
Each frame a pulse, each pulse a gear
Temple hums but she can't hear
Silver halide drinks the light
Watch hands spin through endless night
Dawn cracks open mountain spine
Watch rewinds in copper line
She boards the bus with heavy bag
Temple sleeps beneath the crag
Ticket punched, the engine groans
Brass unravels in her bones
Brass unraveling in snow
Temple breathes where winds don't blow
Pocket watch forgets to tick
Heart beats steady, cold and quick
Brass unraveling in snow
She clicks the shutter, lets it go
Bus pulls out, the temple sleeps
Time rewinds in copper deeps
