Track Insight / Lyrics
Sodium lamps paint pavement gold
Quercus leaves turn copper cold
Amanita caps push through loam
Trick-or-treat feet shake the home
Rooted in shadow, the garden keeps time
Pumpkin vines pulse in Halloween rhyme
Soil remembers each footfall, each breath
Life persists in the dance with death
Solanum fruits split thick rind
Seeds escape on autumn wind
Crataegus thorns guard the gate
Sugar skulls decay on the plate
Rooted in shadow, the garden keeps time
Pumpkin vines pulse in Halloween rhyme
Soil remembers each footfall, each breath
Life persists in the dance with death
Children pass in polyester wings
Datura blooms where the bell rings
I speak in Latin to calm the fright
Photosynthesis feeds the night
Rooted in shadow, the garden keeps time
Pumpkin vines pulse in Halloween rhyme
Soil remembers each footfall, each breath
Life persists in the dance with death
Mycorrhizal threads bind bone to root
Silent pact, no dispute
Decay feeds the spring to come
Darkness births the blooming sum
Dawn bleaches the sodium haze
Dew drops on the spent maze
But roots hold fast, patient, deep
Halloween promises they keep
Rooted in shadow, the garden keeps time
Pumpkin vines pulse in Halloween rhyme
Soil remembers each footfall, each breath
Life persists in the dance with death
Rooted in shadow, we rise from the earth
Halloween's end brings rebirth
Mist lifts, the garden exhales
Roots drink deep where morning sails
