Track Insight / Lyrics
You slide into cracked vinyl skin
Coffee rings map where you've been
Ribbon hangs loose in the machine
Letters wait where the night begins
Grill goes quiet, tickets done
Pie case glows, the last one
Keys hold breath for the morning sun
You type what the shift has won
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Carbon copy of eclipse
Fingers fly where the wrist rips
Truth sits heavy on your lips
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Salt shaker leans like a tired bishop
Napkin folds, a paper crisp
Typebar strikes, a tiny blip
Each word peeled from your fingertip
Grill goes quiet, tickets done
Pie case glows, the last one
Keys hold breath for the morning sun
You type what the shift has won
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Carbon copy of eclipse
Fingers fly where the wrist rips
Truth sits heavy on your lips
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Regulars gone, stool screws turned down
Ketchup bottle wears a crown
Carriage returns with a hollow sound
Paper feeds what the lost have found
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Carbon copy of eclipse
Fingers fly where the wrist rips
Truth sits heavy on your lips
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Apron strings tie off the night
Dishwater hands catch the light
Bell dings once for the cook's delight
Manuscript grows in the pale white
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Carbon copy of eclipse
Fingers fly where the wrist rips
Truth sits heavy on your lips
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Dawn cracks the window's grease film
Ink dries slow on the final hymn
You sign your name on the bottom rim
Close the cover, let the dark swim
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Carbon copy of eclipse
Fingers fly where the wrist rips
Truth sits heavy on your lips
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Ribbon and grease, the twin scripts
Keys sleep now beneath the dust
Morning rush begins, it must
Ribbon and grease, in us we trust
