Track Insight / Lyrics
Quartz crystal wakes at midnight hour
Quercus roots drink diesel shower
Seconds sweep like phloem flow
Time keeps pace with engines low
Brass gears turn in copper soil
Helianthus turns to face the coil
Truckers pause for coffee black
Watch hands trace the highway track
I count the breaths of passing souls
Photosynthesis in headlight glows
Roots hold fast while seasons turn
Brass and leaf, we watch and learn
Tick tock grows like rhizome deep
Promises the night will keep
Taxodium knees in asphalt cracks
Drink the rain the sky gives back
My spring unwinds in steady measure
Counting out each fleeting treasure
I count the breaths of passing souls
Photosynthesis in headlight glows
Roots hold fast while seasons turn
Brass and leaf, we watch and learn
Tick tock grows like rhizome deep
Promises the night will keep
No wind disperses pollen here
Only exhaust and diesel smear
Yet something green persists beneath
Where metal teeth grip concrete teeth
Morning brings the commuter tide
Chlorophyll in eyes wide
Seeds of journey, spores of place
Settle in the station's grace
Glass face reflects the rising sun
Another cycle spun and done
But I remain, rooted, still
Counting seconds, watching will
I count the breaths of passing souls
Photosynthesis in headlight glows
Roots hold fast while seasons turn
Brass and leaf, we watch and learn
Tick tock grows like rhizome deep
Promises the night will keep
I count the breaths of passing souls
Photosynthesis in headlight glows
Roots hold fast while seasons turn
Brass and leaf, we watch and learn
Tick tock grows like rhizome deep
Promises the night will keep
Brass roots hold what steel can't reap
Time germinates in palm and pocket
Brass roots grow where light can't lock it
