Deep in the concrete gray
Where the old archives stay
I trace the copper vein
Like a root in the rain
Humming low in the loam
Making this basement home
Copper wires in a row
Watch the hidden signals grow
Monstera leaves in a pot
Keeping the humid spot
Latin names on the shelf
I can talk to myself
Humming low in the loam
Making this basement home
Copper wires in a row
Watch the hidden signals grow
Splicing the yellow lead
While the library is dead
Patience in every twist
Like a fern in the mist
Soil on my fingertips
A quiet song on my lips
Untangle the heavy knot
In this forgotten plot
Humming low in the loam
Making this basement home
Copper wires in a row
Watch the hidden signals grow
Cables like ivy vines
Crossing the hidden lines
Now the dial tone is clear
The green light is finally here
Humming low in the loam
Making this basement home
Copper wires in a row
Watch the hidden signals grow
Rooted deep in the floor
I don't need any more
Copper Root.
