Track Insight / Lyrics
Coffee burns black in a chipped diner mug
Grill smoke curls slow like a tired old rug
Regular Joe wants his eggs over light
I flip 'em once more for the graveyard shift
Greenhouse pool holds a cracked pane sky
Water don't ripple when the wind walks by
Someone watches from the rusted fence line
Counting the seconds on borrowed time
Boots sink soft in the peat moss floor
Glass panes breathe mist through a hairline war
Tomato vines choke on the humidity
Reflection stares back with cold clarity
Greenhouse pool holds a cracked pane sky
Water don't ripple when the wind walks by
Someone watches from the rusted fence line
Counting the seconds on borrowed time
Hash browns sizzle, bacon pops loud
Cook calls "Order up!" to the morning crowd
But my mind's stuck out by that broken glass wall
Where the water don't move and the shadows don't fall
One hand on the spatula, one on the rail
Night shift bleeds dawn, coffee turns pale
The watcher don't blink, the pool don't speak
Both just waiting for the glass to break
Condensation drips like a metronome tick
Each drop a second on a nuclear clock
The stalker adjusts his collar, checks his watch
Greenhouse hums quiet in a botany notch
Greenhouse pool holds a cracked pane sky
Water don't ripple when the wind walks by
Someone watches from the rusted fence line
Counting the seconds on borrowed time
Diner door chimes, sun hits the chrome
Another night done, heading on home
But I'll be back tomorrow, same stool, same grin
Knowing the pool's still watching from within
Greenhouse pool holds a cracked pane sky
Water don't ripple when the wind walks by
Someone watches from the rusted fence line
Counting the seconds on borrowed time
Greenhouse pool holds a cracked pane sky
We're all just waiting for the glass to break
Banjo fades out, cello sighs long
Night shift over, but the watch goes on
