Track Insight / Lyrics
Stitched in salt and solar wind
We woke where docking clamps unwind
Twin palms of hide, no bone beneath
Drifting where the bulkheads breathe
We search the bay in silent flight
Two gloves adrift in orbital night
No hands to fill, no rope to hold
Just leather learning space is cold
A wrench floats past like dead kelp slow
We trace the hull where ice crystals grow
The keeper's voice in memory
Watch the light, boy, watch the sea
Magnetic boots kiss deck plates soft
We climb where maintenance shafts aloft
A smear of grease, a torn wire mesh
We grip the rung, we do not slip
We search the bay in silent flight
Two gloves adrift in orbital night
No hands to fill, no rope to hold
Just leather learning space is cold
Morning comes on reaction mass
The hangar floods with gas and glass
We'll rest in locker, side by side
Until the next EVA ride
The keeper knew the lantern's weight
We know the lock, the seal, the grate
Same fingers, different ocean floor
Same duty watching through the door
We search the bay in silent flight
Two gloves adrift in orbital night
No hands to fill, no rope to hold
Just leather learning space is cold
Leather remembers every hand
Drifting where the stars expand
