Track Insight / Lyrics

You fold the wing with thumb and crease A sharp white dart for summer breeze Pinus strobus stands in rows Where copper wire cut wind grows You launch it from the rough gravel shoulder It climbs where balsam branches smolder Needles catch the afternoon Roots drink deep the sandy loam Paper plane you watch the pines Guard the edge where current twines Telephone poles hum their song You have waited here so long White bark holds your folded weight Gravity accepts your fate Resin beads on furrowed bark Mark the hours after dark Mycelium threads silent floor You circle back once more Paper plane you watch the pines Guard the edge where current twines Telephone poles hum their song You have waited here so long White bark holds your folded weight Gravity accepts your fate Cellulose and lignin grain Hold the memory of rain Child's hand released you into sky Now you teach the trees to fly Insulators glaze morning frost Shadow counts the carbon cost Xylem pulls the water high You map the canopy Seasons turn the needle brown Wings grow soft on forest ground Decomposition starts the scheme Paper feeds the pine's dark dream Paper plane you watch the pines Guard the edge where current twines Telephone poles hum their song You have waited here so long White bark holds your folded weight Gravity accepts your fate Paper plane becomes the soil Pinus strobus drinks your oil
