Track Insight / Lyrics
You flip the cover, leather cracked and dry
Pinus sylvestris etched in carbon line
Telephone poles march past the treeline high
Your notes take root in manganese and time
Root and wire, holding fast
Pine resin seals the broken past
Root and wire, deep and true
Every ring returns to you
Creosote dark on the crossarm beam
Quercus lobata shadows stretch and lean
You measure girth in centimeter scheme
The notebook breathes in phenol and green
Root and wire, holding fast
Pine resin seals the broken past
Root and wire, deep and true
Every ring returns to you
Insulators glaze like quartz in morning frost
Abies grandis logs the wind has tossed
You sketch the crown, the gain, the signal loss
Data grows like mycelium across
Soil horizon, O to B to C
Roots follow current, silent, wild, and free
No satellite can map this memory
The pines remember what the wires decree
Nightjar calls from Pseudotsuga crown
Voltage hums beneath the loam and ground
You press the page, graphite writes it down
Resistance measured, infinite, unbound
Root and wire, holding fast
Pine resin seals the broken past
Root and wire, deep and true
Every ring returns to you
Dawn breaks the canopy, the spectral line
Pinus sylvestris draws the new design
Your leather cover wears the resin sign
Root and wire, entwined, benign
Root and wire, holding fast
Pine resin seals the broken past
Root and wire, deep and true
Every ring returns to you
Root and wire, root and wire
Midnight sap in copper wire
