Track Insight / Lyrics
You pedal past the rusted gate
Quercus branches scrape the slate
Solanum dulcamara climbs
Bittersweet on borrowed time
Workshop exhales copper scent
You watch the yard breathe slow and deep
Roots remember what you keep
Pedals turn but wheels stay still
Night blooms fragrant on the sill
You trace the Polygonum knot
Japanese knotweed claims the lot
Mentha spicata breaks the concrete
Spearmint rising through the heat
Your shadow stretches long and thin
You watch the yard breathe slow and deep
Roots remember what you keep
Pedals turn but wheels stay still
Night blooms fragrant on the sill
You name each volunteer by seed
Taraxacum takes the lead
Dandelion clocks tell no lies
Opening beneath dark skies
Handlebars grow cold in hand
Taxus baccata guards the corner
Yew tree stands a silent mourner
You know the Latin, know the lore
Every leaf and thorn and pore
But tonight you simply witness
You hear the Artemisia sigh
Wormwood whispers lullaby
Achillea millefolium waits
Yarrow guards the garden gates
Spokes catch moonlight, silver thread
You watch the yard breathe slow and deep
Roots remember what you keep
Pedals turn but wheels stay still
Night blooms fragrant on the sill
You plant no flags and stake no claim
Just witness green reclaim the frame
Cyclist, botanist, sentinel
Living in the chlorophyll
Dawn will find you here again
You watch the yard breathe slow and deep
Roots remember what you keep
Pedals turn but wheels stay still
Night blooms fragrant on the sill
You watch the yard breathe slow and deep
Roots remember what you keep
Kickstand down on mossy stone
Solanum vigil, alone
