Track Insight / Lyrics
I ride where the rusted rails meet,
Concrete cracks beneath my two feet.
The fog is a thick white blanket,
Cold steel is a heavy bracket.
Guard the yard till the sun breaks gold,
Watch the wild green ivy unfold.
Spin the wheel through the silver haze,
Lost inside of a metal maze.
Sedge grows in the oil and grime,
Waiting for the perfect time.
Carex grows in a lonely row,
Where the heavy freight cars go.
The ballast is a rocky bed,
Where the dormant seeds are fed.
I pedal past the signal light,
Keeping watch throughout the night.
Guard the yard till the sun breaks gold,
Watch the wild green ivy unfold.
Spin the wheel through the silver haze,
Lost inside of a metal maze.
Patience is the root of the bloom,
Giving all the wildflowers room.
The engine hums a low steady tone,
I am guarding this kingdom alone.
Digital clocks begin to flare,
Static fills the humid air.
The Latin names are all I know,
Watching how the creepers grow.
Guard the yard till the sun breaks gold,
Watch the wild green ivy unfold.
Spin the wheel through the silver haze,
Lost inside of a metal maze.
Iron and Ivy. Racing the dawn.
The light is on.
