Track Insight / Lyrics
Harness clips on the suspended track
Grease trap gurgles, no turning back
Card catalog draws a measured breath
Spatula flips the eggs from death
Quiet beats where the dust sits stacked
Wire holds the weight of words
Grill marks sear the morning herbs
Both hands steady, both eyes clear
Archive silence, diner cheer
Grounded where the current serves
Microfiche spins a silver reel
Hash browns crisp on seasoned steel
Temperature logged in degrees precise
Bacon pops in its hot slice
Cotton gloves turn the page to heal
Wire holds the weight of words
Grill marks sear the morning herbs
Both hands steady, both eyes clear
Archive silence, diner cheer
Grounded where the current serves
Ladder leans on the mezzanine
Vinyl booth holds a regular scene
Dewey decimal runs the spine
Short stack waits its proper time
Order called on a crackling line
Wire holds the weight of words
Grill marks sear the morning herbs
Both hands steady, both eyes clear
Archive silence, diner cheer
Grounded where the current serves
Compressed air dusts the fragile page
Pie crust edges turn golden stage
Silent alarm blinks red once
Refill poured in a ceramic punch
History kept in a steel cage
One foot out on the trembling line
One foot flat on the checkered tile
Balance found in the narrow space
Two worlds turning at steady pace
Shift ends when the catalog closes
Grill scraped clean where the carbon grows
Harness hangs on its designated hook
Apron folded in a well-worn nook
Both clocks strike as the night composes
Wire holds the weight of words
Grill marks sear the morning herbs
Both hands steady, both eyes clear
Archive silence, diner cheer
Grounded where the current serves
Grounded where the current serves
Steel cable hums, the coffee brews
Another shift, another news
