Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain drums the glass while drums hum low
Soap suds climb the window's glow
My steel rests cold on plastic tray
Waiting for the night to gray
[Pre-
Coin clatter sings a metal hymn
Dryer tumble spins the dim
I count the loads like pancake stacks
Each cycle turns the grime to wax
I'm a blade in soap, not battle's call
Guarding socks that tumble, fall
No dragon's fire, just lint and steam
My edge stays sharp in detergent dream
Fluorescent buzz feeds the graveyard shift
Coffee steam rises, sweet and swift
A lone sock escapes the spinning drum
I watch it roll, then hear it hum
[Pre-
Change clinks in the tray by the door
Wet shoes squeak on linoleum floor
I tally stains like orders called
Each spot removed, a story told
I'm a blade in soap, not battle's call
Guarding socks that tumble, fall
No dragon's fire, just lint and steam
My edge stays sharp in detergent dream
Midnight rush brings a muddy coat
Dirt dissolves in the soapy mote
My hilt remembers warrior's grip
Now cradles fabric, loose and slip
I'm a blade in soap, not battle's call
Guarding socks that tumble, fall
No dragon's fire, just lint and steam
My edge stays sharp in detergent dream
Dawn paints the parking lot pale gold
Machines exhale, their cycles old
I catch a reflection, dull and bent
A knight retired, time well spent
I'm a blade in soap, not battle's call
Guarding socks that tumble, fall
No dragon's fire, just lint and steam
My edge stays sharp in detergent dream
Rain softens now to misty veil
Last load spins a quiet tale
I rest my blade on folded towel
No battles left, just spin and growl
I'm a blade in soap, not battle's call
Guarding socks that tumble, fall
No dragon's fire, just lint and steam
My edge stays sharp in detergent dream
Steel sleeps soft in suds and rain
Dawn lifts the lid, I wake again
