Track Insight / Lyrics

Morning climbs the rusted track Quercus alba watches back Copper sings in braided sheath Pulse beneath the peeling teeth Insulation cracked like bark Signals rising through the dark Dial tone hums like xylem flow Roots attend what we don't know Patience measured in growth rings Connection waits on silent strings Copper roots hold underground Where no locomotive sound Can shake the lines I tend and trace Time moves slow in this quiet place Copper roots hold underground Pinus strobus guards the pole Needles catch the diesel coal Wires sag in catenary Math and gravity agree I splice the break with steady hand Tape the wound, let current land Dial tone hums like xylem flow Roots attend what we don't know Patience measured in growth rings Connection waits on silent strings Copper roots hold underground Where no locomotive sound Can shake the lines I tend and trace Time moves slow in this quiet place Copper roots hold underground Paint curls loose in cellulose sheets History peels in annual beats Lead and linseed, layer on layer Like growth rings on a prayer Scraper bites, reveals the grain Oak beneath the weathered stain Copper roots hold underground Where no locomotive sound Can shake the lines I tend and trace Time moves slow in this quiet place Copper roots hold underground Switchboard breathes in bakelite click Relays bloom, electric thick Each connection a hyphae thread Mycelium where words are spread Voice travels root to distant root Silence makes the signal absolute Copper roots hold underground Where no locomotive sound Can shake the lines I tend and trace Time moves slow in this quiet place Copper roots hold underground Evening settles in the yard Betula papyrifera scarred White bark peels in paper scrolls Messages for listening souls I clip my set, make one last call Grounded lines outlast them all Copper roots hold underground Where no locomotive sound Can shake the lines I tend and trace Time moves slow in this quiet place Copper roots hold underground Copper roots hold underground Signal fades to green Roots stay unseen
