Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon hums above the pump island
Quercus roots crack the concrete silent
Flashlight sweeps the asphalt veins
Taraxacum pushes through the stains
Counting footsteps, one by one
Underneath the sodium sun
Gas station glow, the crossroads node
Roots hold deep beneath the load
Acer leaves tap the glass pane
Footsteps fade like summer rain
Beam finds a boot, then another sole
Soil remembers every toll
Counting footsteps, one by one
Underneath the sodium sun
Gas station glow, the crossroads node
Roots hold deep beneath the load
Pump handle cold in calloused grip
Photosynthesis on the midnight shift
Count reaches twenty-three, then four
Pinus needles brush the door
Counting footsteps, one by one
Underneath the sodium sun
Gas station glow, the crossroads node
Roots hold deep beneath the load
Beetle crawls on fluorescent tube
Night blooms open, quiet, shrewd
Flashlight clicks, the count resets
Betula bark holds no regrets
Roots drink deep from hidden aquifer
Watchman's shadow grows no longer
Neon flickers, dawn approaches near
Another night logged, another year
Shift ends, logbook snapped shut tight
Salvia blooms in morning light
Footsteps counted, soil turned over
Dreams of chlorophyll and clover
Counting footsteps, one by one
Underneath the sodium sun
Gas station glow, the crossroads node
Roots hold deep beneath the load
Roots hold deep beneath the load
Beam fades, the count complete
Quercus stands on concrete street
