Track Insight / Lyrics
Down the stairs where the air smells stale
He clips his set to the copper rail
Flash bulb pops on his weathered coat
Shutter clicks on a violet note
Splice the pair, hear the silence break
Vector lines on the screen awake
Quarter drops in the plastic throat
Something hums in the cable coat
Copper & Coin in the vault below
Dial tone hums in a pixel glow
He twists the pair, I load the roll
Frames develop in the breaker's soul
Test set beeps on the jumper wire
Ghost chase on a vector spire
He wipes the grease from his calloused thumb
I catch the arc where the photons come
Splice the pair, hear the silence break
Vector lines on the screen awake
Quarter drops in the plastic throat
Something hums in the cable coat
Copper & Coin in the vault below
Dial tone hums in a pixel glow
He twists the pair, I load the roll
Frames develop in the breaker's soul
He asks the time, I show my wrist
A broken watch that the grit has kissed
He laughs a sound like a modem handshake
We trade a look for a moment's sake
No bus schedule in my pocket now
Just developer stains on a solemn vow
The cabinet hums a lullaby
While telephone poles touch the open sky
Copper & Coin in the vault below
Dial tone hums in a pixel glow
He twists the pair, I load the roll
Frames develop in the breaker's soul
Sunlight cuts through the grate at noon
He packs his kit to a different tune
I snap the last frame, the marquee dark
Two ghosts departing the concrete park
Copper & Coin in the vault below
Dial tone hums in a pixel glow
He twists the pair, I load the roll
Frames develop in the breaker's soul
Copper & Coin where the wild winds blow
Shutter clicks, the line goes dead
Footsteps fade on the stairwell tread
