Track Insight / Lyrics
I sit upon a cedar shelf
A plastic shell, a lonely self
The ivy climbs the workshop wall
While autumn leaves begin to fall
The lens is cracked and clouded grey
I watch the garden drift away
The focus ring is stuck in place
I hold the ghost of every face
Click goes the shutter in the wind
Where the wild green vines begin
Silver halide, frozen light
Keeping every color bright
The rusted shears are in the weeds
The soil is thick with maple seeds
A wooden bench with peeling paint
The summer heat is growing faint
The lens is cracked and clouded grey
I watch the garden drift away
The focus ring is stuck in place
I hold the ghost of every face
Click goes the shutter in the wind
Where the wild green vines begin
Silver halide, frozen light
Keeping every color bright
The copper wire is coiled tight
Against the coming of the night
A broken pot, a ceramic chip
I feel the heavy silence slip
Click goes the shutter in the wind
Where the wild green vines begin
Silver halide, frozen light
Keeping every color bright
The oil stains on the concrete floor
Are leaking from the open door
I see the spiders spin their thread
Above the garden's dormant bed
Click goes the shutter in the wind
Where the wild green vines begin
Silver halide, frozen light
Keeping every color bright
The chemical scent is sharp and cold
A story that was never told
I wait for hands to wind the reel
And make the hidden image real
Click goes the shutter in the wind
Where the wild green vines begin
Silver halide, frozen light
Keeping every color bright
Just one more shot. One last frame.
Silver light.
