Track Insight / Lyrics
Cold steel bench holds warm tray
Sourdough breathes in stale air
Dough rises where rats play
Crust forms in the draft's thin care
Oven timer ticks in pocket
Platform hums on low voltage
Proofing ends at first express
Dawn kneads the night's dark promise
Proofing hour on the platform
Flour dust on concrete skin
We guard the rise through tunnel wind
Day breaks when the crust sets in
Token booth glass reflects steam
Bagel steam cuts through the grime
Commuter boots trace flour paths
Time proofs us in borrowed time
Oven timer ticks in pocket
Platform hums on low voltage
Proofing ends at first express
Dawn kneads the night's dark promise
Proofing hour on the platform
Flour dust on concrete skin
We guard the rise through tunnel wind
Day breaks when the crust sets in
Rack cooling on bench slats
Butter melts in paper wrap
Regulars know the schedule
Breakfast served in transit gap
No fluorescent saints watch over us
Just sodium vapor, yeast, and trust
The express roars, the local sighs
We feed the dark with warmed supplies
Proofing hour on the platform
Flour dust on concrete skin
We guard the rise through tunnel wind
Day breaks when the crust sets in
Morning papers print the crumb
Headlines rise like oven spring
Platform empties, trays return
Another day the bakers bring
Proofing hour on the platform
Flour dust on concrete skin
We guard the rise through tunnel wind
Day breaks when the crust sets in
Proofing hour, proofing hour
Day breaks when the crust sets in
Flour on the yellow line
Dough rises in fluorescent light
