Track Insight / Lyrics

Boots caked in alkali dust Greenhouse ribs bend west to east Glass panes cracked like spider webs Compass needle finds no peace I breathe the way the choir taught [Pre- Morning light cuts through the fractures Each shard points a different north My alto chest recalls the chorus How to sing the broken gospel North lives in the cracked glass panes Needle shakes on fracture lines Old hymnals say the broken shows Which way the morning wind will blow Dawn comes through in splintered light Parcel wrapped in oilcloth skin Address faded to bone white Train beat rolls through shin and bone Miles vanish in the night Choir breath still steadies me [Pre- Sunlight stains the dirt floor gold Prism shards paint holy maps Psalm verses rise from somewhere deep Guiding hands through broken glass North lives in the cracked glass panes Needle shakes on fracture lines Old hymnals say the broken shows Which way the morning wind will blow Dawn comes through in splintered light Robes hung in cedar closet dark Alto line held low and long Organ shook the window glass Faith wore thin but breath stayed strong Now I carry both as one North lives in the cracked glass panes Needle shakes on fracture lines Old hymnals say the broken shows Which way the morning wind will blow Dawn comes through in splintered light Wind sings through the splintered frame Grit swirls on the needle's tip No parish bell calls me to prayer Just the rhythm of the trip Steady as a held half-note North lives in the cracked glass panes Needle shakes on fracture lines Old hymnals say the broken shows Which way the morning wind will blow Dawn comes through in splintered light Pack rolls tight on calloused shoulders Compass tucked in wool and leather Greenhouse stays where glass lies broken North don't need clear skies forever Just one fracture letting light North lives in the cracked glass panes Needle shakes on fracture lines Old hymnals
