Track Insight / Lyrics
Terracotta ribs hold October chill
Cucurbita seeds sleep patient still
Mist curls round the sodium arc
Aconitum dreams in the dark
Porch step vibrates with small feet patter
Solanum leaves begin to shatter
Witch-hazel bark sheds silver skin
Samhain wind blows cold and thin
Nightshade streetlight, pale and tall
Watch the shadows crawl the wall
Cucurbita grins on vine and stem
Halloween night belongs to them
Clay pores breathe the candy scent
Tagetes petals bruised and bent
Skeleton keys in plastic sacks
Datura nods on twisting tracks
Nightshade streetlight, pale and tall
Watch the shadows crawl the wall
Cucurbita grins on vine and stem
Halloween night belongs to them
Root and stem in silent talk
Phosphorus glow on sidewalk chalk
No eyes to see, no ears to hear
Just turgor pressure drawing near
Xylem rises, phloem falls
Clay endures what winter calls
Lantern light gutters, wax runs down
Helianthus heads wear paper crown
Footsteps fade on pavement gray
Seeds settle in for winter's stay
Dawn will crack the mist apart
Chlorophyll wakes in garden heart
But clay remembers every tread
Nightshade streetlight, clay and lead
Nightshade streetlight, pale and tall
Watch the shadows crawl the wall
Cucurbita grins on vine and stem
Halloween night belongs to them
Nightshade streetlight, pale and tall
Halloween night belongs to them
Clay holds silence, soil keeps score
Nightshade streetlight, nothing more
