Track Insight / Lyrics
Coffee steams in chipped ceramic cup
Clock hands drag the hour hand up
Moth beats hard on buzzing sodium glass
Semi sighs on diesel, lets it pass
Neon bleeds on wet black tar
We count the cars that come this far
Hymnals hum in chest and throat
Praise the shift, the gas, the float
Receipt printer chokes on thermal roll
Lottery dreams crumple, lose control
Fridge motor kicks a low bass drone
Pickled eggs sit watchful, left alone
Neon bleeds on wet black tar
We count the cars that come this far
Hymnals hum in chest and throat
Praise the shift, the gas, the float
Altitude of breath in freezing air
Condensate on window, fingerprint prayer
Register chimes a perfect fifth
Change returned, a minor gift
Key turns over in the ignition slot
Dawn cracks open what the night forgot
Counter-melody in tire whine
Resolution comes in flattened line
Mop bucket rings with gray water song
Fluorescent flicker keeps the rhythm strong
Altos know the silence between notes
Sanctuary in a quote, in quotes
Neon bleeds on wet black tar
We count the cars that come this far
Hymnals hum in chest and throat
Praise the shift, the gas, the float
Sunrise paints the pumps in rose and gold
Shift relief arrives, tired and old
Logbook signed in blue ballpoint grace
Another night survives this place
Neon bleeds on wet black tar
We count the cars that come this far
Hymnals hum in chest and throat
Praise the shift, the gas, the float
Amen rings from counter top
Bass line fades through plexiglass dawn
Last chord holds, then breath goes on
