Track Insight / Lyrics
I've seen more cracks than eggs on grill
Condensation drips, time stands still
Regulars gone, just vines and rust
My battery coughs, loses trust
Glass panes shiver in cold night air
Ghost tomatoes rot on the stair
Coffee's cold in the thermos cup
Watchman's boots shuffle, heavy, stuck
Cracked glass beam, hold the line
Greenhouse dreams in fractured shine
Places gone but I remain
Light until the battery's drained
Fluorescent hum above the grill
Short stack jokes, time stood still
Now just moss on ceramic tile
My beam paints green in sterile style
Condensation beads on broken panes
Memory serves like coffee stains
Watchman checks his watch, sighs low
Another shift, another go
Cracked glass beam, hold the line
Greenhouse dreams in fractured shine
Places gone but I remain
Light until the battery's drained
Lens fogged up from steam and grease
Like specs on the waitress niece
Regular at four asked for light
Now weeds choke the aisle tight
No more orders, no more grill
Just my beam cutting through the still
Places die but light persists
Until the switch, the dark insists
Cracked glass beam, hold the line
Greenhouse dreams in fractured shine
Places gone but I remain
Light until the battery's drained
Dawn cracks slow like egg on flat
Watchman nods in folding chair chat
My beam thins, yellow, weak, and wan
Another greenhouse, another dawn
Cracked glass beam, hold the line
Greenhouse dreams in fractured shine
Places gone but I remain
Light until the battery's drained
One last click, the dark explained
Click. Dark swallows the green scene.
Battery dead. Dream machine.
