Track Insight / Lyrics
Taxus baccata grows through cracked concrete
Neon reflects in puddles at my feet
Quercus robur shadows stretch across the lane
Stitches hold the shape of forgotten rain
Second skin, we wear the night
Photosynthesize the city light
Roots in asphalt, reaching down
Blooming where the lost are found
Chlorophyll burns in sodium glare
Fingerprints remain suspended in the air
Monstera splits the chain-link fence apart
Seams split open, leaking from the heart
Second skin, we wear the night
Photosynthesize the city light
Roots in asphalt, reaching down
Blooming where the lost are found
Epiphyte clings to rusted fire escape
Memory etched in every scrape and tape
Ficus benjamina drops its leaves on hoods
Leather creaks like branches in the woods
Xylem carries chrome through vascular veins
Phloem transports data, pleasure, pain
Transpiration rises from the grates
We are the flora that the city creates
Guttation droplets on the morning wire
Photosynthesis burning like a fire
Stomata open for the midnight rush
Carbon dioxide, electric hush
Seed pods burst in gutter soil tonight
Gloves grip the rail, holding on tight
Second skin, we wear the night
Photosynthesize the city light
Roots in asphalt, reaching down
Blooming where the lost are found
Germination in the synthetic loam
Night City grows its way back home
Radicles probe the fractured substrate
New growth pushing through the heavy gate
Second skin, we wear the night
Photosynthesize the city light
Roots in asphalt, reaching down
Blooming where the lost are found
Second skin, we wear the night
Photosynthesize the city light
Roots hold fast in concrete ground
Second skin, no sound, just sound
