Track Insight / Lyrics
The old kettle keeps watch by the sink
Cold metal counts each drop
Moonlight slips across the brass
While evening hums like soil
The steam rises, the cupboard knows
I trim the dust from basil leaves
Monstera curls around the beam
The plates are stacked like summer stones
The spoons remember cream
I speak in roots, the kitchen heeds
A saucer nudges wilted thyme
Nasturtium dreams in porcelain
Dust drifts through the fading light
The taps keep time, precise and worn
Each thirsty plant leans to mine
Steam marks where the lost summer went
Whispers circle where the heat bent
Watchful metal, patient and slow
Hold the dark until it glows
Steam marks where the lost summer went
I find your fingerprints on glass
The sugar settles in the steel
A clock forgets the years to pass
The kettle warms what I conceal
Then whispers through the kitchen glass
Outside, the summer turns to rain
Inside, the roots press through the black
I loosen soil to ease the strain
The last warm light is drifting back
And every window fogs a name
Steam marks where the lost summer went
Whispers circle where the heat bent
Watchful metal, patient and slow
Hold the dark until it glows
Steam marks where the lost summer went
Low whistle under frosted glass
Roots turning in the dark
One note the summer could not last
One spark beneath the spark
Now stir the stillness, let it pass
Outside, the summer turns to rain
Inside, the roots press through the black
I loosen soil to ease the strain
The last warm light is drifting back
And every window fogs a name
Steam marks where the lost summer went
Whispers circle where the heat bent
Watchful metal, brighter now
Hold the dark until it glows
Steam marks where the lost summer went
No, steam marks where the lost summer went
The kettle keeps watch by the sink
Cold metal warms beneath my hand
The quiet roots remember spring
The steam reveals what I cannot
The kettle keeps watch by the sink
