Track Insight / Lyrics

Paste is lifting from the stone Streetlights tremble, edge is known I was sprayed across the bricks Orange letters, sharp daylight Rain found every thin black seam And the city split my meaning [Pre- Cold wind combs a loose gray edge Rips my brightest name away Salt and dust prepare the ground Watch me peel, watch me fade Letting go, making shade Every color turns to gray One last mark, then I go I once flared above the square With fierce letters, coal-bright air Buses stopped to read my name Dogs bark loose at mounting flame [Pre- Truck exhaust curled around my spine Flakes like ash across the line Brick beneath is calm and cold Watch me peel, watch me fade Letting go, making shade Every color turns to gray One last mark, then I go A tin can touched my yellow side Some kid's joke, then stepped aside Autumn insects found the cracks And sticker corners peeled me back [Pre- Morning frost grips wooden pins Loose letters shuffle underneath my skin Watch me peel, watch me fade Letting go, making shade Every color turns to gray One last mark, then I go Scaffolds rose along the row Pigeons paced beneath the flow I held scraps of last night's rain On a wall beyond the lane [Pre- Silver glue gives way at last Paper curls like falling mast Somewhere, distant harbor glass Watch me peel, watch me fade Letting go, making shade Every color turns to gray One last mark, then I go Now a child drags one blue heel Writes my name in passing steel From the bridge I watch the tide Turn my remnants seaward wide [Pre- Dawn stands pale above the bay City lamps surrender gray Brick and silence share the load Watch me peel, watch me fade Letting go, making shade Every color turns to gray One last mark, then I go Loose along the evening air Small bright pieces everywhere No one catches where they go Fading on the undertow
