Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt spray kisses my brass rim
Fog horn moans a low hymn
Calico stalks the pier's gray spine
One green eye, one gold, align
I catch the pause before the pounce
Silent frame, zero bounce
Mist swallows the Golden Gate
Shutter clicks, seals the fate
Bus ticket tucked in my leather case
Driver didn't check my face
Rolling north on a diesel groan
Left the desert for the unknown
Three rolls left of Tri-X film
Cold wind bites the camera's rim
Cat watches the tide turn slack
No meow, just a razor back
I catch the pause before the pounce
Silent frame, zero bounce
Mist swallows the Golden Gate
Shutter clicks, seals the fate
Focus ring stuck on infinity
Salt rust claims the lens for me
Pier planks groan in sympathy
Cat blinks once, wild and free
Coffee steam curls from a paper cup
Harbor lights blink, waking up
Calico sits, a furred sentinel
Guarding the gate, watching the swell
I catch the pause before the pounce
Silent frame, zero bounce
Mist swallows the Golden Gate
Negative holds the final state
Shutter sleeps on the splintered rail
Fog lifts slow, turning pale
