Track Insight / Lyrics
Steel ribs breathe in carbon night
Chlorophyll drinks fractured white
Two wheels pause on concrete bed
Stomata open, overhead
Auxin flows in tidal surge
Phototropism moves the urge
No sun above, just sodium glow
Still the stem must bend and grow
Phototropism pulls me through
Sodium lamps, my morning dew
No sun required, just reflected white
Chloroplasts drink subway night
Turn toward the platform glow
Where last train winds used to blow
Pavement cracks show Poa annua
Commuters gone, no circadian
Tire treads press organic matter
Silica cells, no need to shatter
Auxin flows in tidal surge
Phototropism moves the urge
No sun above, just sodium glow
Still the stem must bend and grow
Phototropism pulls me through
Sodium lamps, my morning dew
No sun required, just reflected white
Chloroplasts drink subway night
Turn toward the platform glow
Where last train winds used to blow
Wurlitzer hums in minor key
Xylem rises, wild and free
Phloem loads with sucrose sweet
Rhizosphere beneath the street
Phototropism pulls me through
Sodium lamps, my morning dew
No sun required, just reflected white
Chloroplasts drink subway night
Turn toward the platform glow
Where last train winds used to blow
Guard cells swell, potassium
Night geometry, strict and prim
Mesophyll drinks the scattered beam
Refracted light in tunnel stream
Phototropism pulls me through
Sodium lamps, my morning dew
No sun required, just reflected white
Chloroplasts drink subway night
Turn toward the platform glow
Where last train winds used to blow
Dawn approaches, phytochrome
Red far-red, it's time to roam
But in this tunnel, timeless space
Every leaf finds its own place
Phototropism pulls me through
Sodium lamps, my morning dew
No sun required, just reflected white
Chloroplasts drink subway night
Turn toward the platform glow
Where last train winds used to blow
Phototropism, I turn to you
Subway light, my morning dew
Wheels spin on, the light holds true
Roots drink deep in tunnels too
