Track Insight / Lyrics

Spool teeth catch the leader tape Xenon bulb blooms hot and white Salt crust clings to iron rails Gulls scream past the projection glass [Pre- Focus pulls the harbor sharp Mooring lines snap taut in wind Every frame a held breath Every frame a held breath First reel spins the dock to light Silver wake on acetate Choir bones hum kyrie low Altos rise where fog breaks pale Take-up reel gathers morning Barnacles trace the hull's black curve Schedule board flips six AM Deckhands nod through diesel steam [Pre- Focus pulls the harbor sharp Mooring lines snap taut in wind Every frame a held breath Every frame a held breath First reel spins the dock to light Silver wake on acetate Choir bones hum kyrie low Altos rise where fog breaks pale Lens flare paints the ramp in gold Passengers check pocket watches Coffee steam curls past my booth Radio static reads the surf Shutter flicker matches pulse Twenty-four stills per living second Hymn fragments surface unbidden Gloria in the engine room Gloria in the engine room First reel spins the dock to light Silver wake on acetate Choir bones hum kyrie low Altos rise where fog breaks pale Final splice runs smooth and clean Vessel shudders, turns for open water Light catches wake one last time Booth goes dark as day takes over First reel spins the dock to light Silver wake on acetate Choir bones hum kyrie low Altos rise where fog breaks pale First reel spins the dock to light Silver wake on acetate Carbon arc dies slow Carbon arc dies slow
