Track Insight / Lyrics
Spool unwinds in basement dark
Quercus alba frames the spark
Celluloid leaves unfurl slow
Photosynthesis in the glow
Muted brass drinks through the grain
Xylem carries blue refrain
Stomata open wide for sound
Roots anchor where the notes are found
Cellulose blues in Chicago clay
Reel and root entwine today
Silver halide drinks the night Photosynthetic basement light
Cellulose blues, we stay
Cellulose blues, we stay
Lens focuses on walking bass
Acer saccharum keeps the pace
Emulsion breathes in smoky air
Anthocyanin hues declare
Muted brass drinks through the grain
Xylem carries blue refrain
Stomata open wide for sound
Roots anchor where the notes are found
Cellulose blues in Chicago clay
Reel and root entwine today
Silver halide drinks the night
Photosynthetic basement light
Cellulose blues, we stay
Cellulose blues, we stay
Shutter clicks the gate inhales Betula bark exhales
Frames descend like autumn leaves
Mycorrhizal film receives
Lamina captures every phrase
Mesophyll drinks the saxophone
Vascular bundles hold the days
Lignin stiffens what we've known
Cellulose blues in Chicago clay
Reel and root entwine today
Silver halide drinks the night
Photosynthetic basement light
Cellulose blues, we stay
Cellulose blues, we stay
Take-up reel winds slow and deep Tilia americana keeps
Latent image dreams in soil
Phloem carries jazz's oil
Cellulose blues in Chicago clay
Reel and root entwine today
Silver halide drinks the night
Photosynthetic basement light
Cellulose blues, we stay
Cellulose blues, we stay
Cellulose blues, we stay
Roots hold the final frame
Cellulose keeps every name
