Track Insight / Lyrics
Iron rails drink from my black cup
Quercus roots sip without a sound
Peeling paint flakes sink slowly down
Sediment writes each century round
Bootsteps vibrate through my silt bed
Flashlight cuts my calm water skin
He searches for what the depot hid
Mossy ties remember him
Surface tension holds the sky
Surface tension tells no lie
He walks the platform, seeking traces
I hold the secrets that he chases
Pteridophytes unfurl in damp air
Spores count time in silent division
His breath disturbs my reflection layer
Rhizome networks make their decision
Surface tension holds the sky
Surface tension tells no lie
He walks the platform, seeking traces
I hold the secrets that he chases
Cambium records every season
Xylem carries water's reason
He kneels to drink my anomaly
I show him his own taxonomy
Morning light reveals empty bench
Dew collects on rusted hinge
No footprints left in loamy trench
Only phytoplankton fringe
Mycorrhiza threads connect the lost
Stalker becomes nutrients at cost
Depot crumbles, returning to dust
In my depths, all matter is just
Surface tension holds the sky
Surface tension tells no lie
He walks the platform, seeking traces
I hold the secrets that he chases
Still water. Deep listener.
Surface tension breaks at last.
