Track Insight / Lyrics
Your edges fray where tunnels meet
Ink bleeds green on creased concrete
Station names grow moss like beards
Time turns steel to smear and tears
Paper compass, lost and found
No tide chart marks this underground
You fold the dark in four-square grids
A lantern where the sunlight hid
Vines swallow turnstiles, coil the rails
Ticket booths rot behind iron veils
Your legend fades to rust and root
No conductor blows his brass salute
Paper compass, lost and found
No tide chart marks this underground
You fold the dark in four-square grids
A lantern where the sunlight hid
I kept the light on Forty Years
Read the swells, the wind, the fears
Now I trace your blue lines slow
Where subterranean currents flow
Paper compass, lost and found
No tide chart marks this underground
You fold the dark in four-square grids
A lantern where the sunlight hid
Moss writes new names on platform walls
Nature reclaims the municipal halls
Your transfer points bloom violet flowers
Marking lost commuter hours
Storm glass drops, the pressure falls
You're all that's left of signal calls
No foghorn sounds, no beam to sweep
Just paper promises to keep
Salt wind reads the folded lines
You tremble in a rusted hand
I'll plot a course through vine and steel
Where no train runs, where ghosts don't kneel
Paper compass, lost and found
No tide chart marks this underground
You fold the dark in four-square grids
A lantern where the sunlight hid
Paper compass, lost and found
No tide chart marks this underground
Salt wind reads the folded lines
You tremble in a rusted hand
