Track Insight / Lyrics
The Underwood stands sentinel
On rusted grillwork, vine-clad steel
Each carriage return a root signal
Typebars strike like pollen spilled
Keys like seeds in dusk's warm hush
Ribbon ink turns red to blush
Every letter, Latin name
Quercus, Rosa, gone the same
Fire escape ribs hold climbing vines
Hedera helix claims the frame
The botanist reads between lines
Scientific ghost, no fame
Keys like seeds in dusk's warm hush
Ribbon ink turns red to blush
Every letter, Latin name
Quercus, Rosa, gone the same
Paper feeds like phloem flow
Carbon copies, xylem trace
Each typo a mutation shows
Evolution in this space
Keys like seeds in dusk's warm hush
Ribbon ink turns red to blush
Every letter, Latin name
Quercus, Rosa, gone the same
Moonlight silvers the QWERTY bed
No observer left to read
Only chlorophyll in lead
Dreams of forests, unborn seed
Dawn will rust the iron lace
But tonight the typewriter keeps
Vigil for the green embrace
While the city hums and sleeps
Keys like seeds in dusk's warm hush
Ribbon ink turns red to blush
Every letter, Latin name
Quercus, Rosa, gone the same
Typewriter sings the wild refrain
Paper feeds, the night inhales
