Track Insight / Lyrics
I plant my feet in oil and grit
Where the diesel fumes and asphalt sit
I watch the Monstera climb the wall
Waiting for the autumn rain to fall
Solder burns upon my thumb
Beating like a steady drum
Colors bleeding through the pane
Washing out the city stain
Cut the glass to catch the glow
Watch the ruby currents flow
Crossroad station, midnight blue
Painting everything anew
My Calathea folds its leaves tight
Hiding from the humming halogen light
I grind the shards into a perfect square
While the scent of gasoline fills the air
Solder burns upon my thumb
Beating like a steady drum
Colors bleeding through the pane
Washing out the city stain
Cut the glass to catch the glow
Watch the ruby currents flow
Crossroad station, midnight blue
Painting everything anew
Latin names are etched in leaden lines
Hidden deep among the traffic signs
The soil is sour but the root is strong
Right here where the lonely travelers belong
One shard of amber, one slice of gold
A secret story that the headlights hold
I hold my breath as the solder cools
Playing by the broken artisan rules
Cut the glass to catch the glow
Watch the ruby currents flow
Crossroad station, midnight blue
Painting everything anew
I talk to ferns in the humid haze
Counting down the heavy summer days
My fingers ache from the cutting wheel
Turning all this static into something real
Cut the glass to catch the glow
Watch the ruby currents flow
Crossroad station, midnight blue
Painting everything anew
Rooted in the concrete floor.
Prism at the pump.
Just a little more.
