Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust cakes my boots, horizon bleeds
Red rock teeth where the mesa feeds
Water sits wrong in stone cup
Silver skin where the light drinks up
No river feeds it, no spring breaks through
Just sky trapped in a bowl of blue
Shutter snaps, the moment holds
Secret water, ancient gold
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Mirror bright where the roots go wrong
Stalker waits where the cottonwoods lean
Watching water, watching me
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Bus ticket burned in ashtray can
Miles behind me, woman, man
Lens cap off, aperture wide
Catching light where the shadows hide
No river feeds it, no spring breaks through
Just sky trapped in a bowl of blue
Shutter snaps, the moment holds
Secret water, ancient gold
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Mirror bright where the roots go wrong
Stalker waits where the cottonwoods lean
Watching water, watching me
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Boots crunch gravel, slow approach
Figure kneels where the scrub oak coach
Hands hover over impossible tide
No ripple forms, though wind slides wide
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Mirror bright where the roots go wrong
Stalker waits where the cottonwoods lean
Watching water, watching me
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Flash pops sharp in noon glare
Catches something not quite there
Face in water, not my own
Eyes like stone, deep as bone
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Mirror bright where the roots go wrong
Stalker waits where the cottonwoods lean
Watching water, watching me
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Film wound tight in plastic case
Leaving behind this wrong-place space
Bus wheels grind on highway tar
Pool stays still beneath the star
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Mirror bright where the roots go wrong
Stalker waits where the cottonwoods lean
Watching water, watching me
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Mesa pool, you don't belong
Shutter clicks one final frame
Desert swallows up the name
