Track Insight / Lyrics
Brass case rests on oak shelf quiet
Tick marks seconds, steady, patient
Quercus alba stands in silence
Roots drink deep, no need for violence
Gears turn slow like xylem rising
Hands move soft, no compromising
Spring unwinds, a silent promise
Life keeps time in dark solace
Time takes root in archive darkness
Tick by tick, a gentle harness
Seconds bloom like annual rings
Watch keeps rhythm, quiet sings
Salix babylonica weeps nearby
Leaves brush glass where moments lie
Copper wheels turn without hurry
No alarm, no cause for worry
Gears turn slow like xylem rising
Hands move soft, no compromising
Spring unwinds, a silent promise
Life keeps time in dark solace
Time takes root in archive darkness
Tick by tick, a gentle harness
Seconds bloom like annual rings
Watch keeps rhythm, quiet sings
Pinus ponderosa scent in air
Sap moves slow, with patient care
Escapement clicks, a heartbeat steady
Ready for the long days ready
Time takes root in archive darkness
Tick by tick, a gentle harness
Seconds bloom like annual rings
Watch keeps rhythm, quiet sings
Fagus sylvatica holds its ground
Smooth bark etched where years are found
Main spring coils, potential stored
Waiting for the winding word
Time takes root in archive darkness
Tick by tick, a gentle harness
Seconds bloom like annual rings
Watch keeps rhythm, quiet sings
Taxus baccata, ancient, slow
Berries red on branches low
Watch face gleams in lantern light
Keeps the dark hours measured right
Time takes root in archive darkness
Tick by tick, a gentle harness
Seconds bloom like annual rings
Watch keeps rhythm, quiet sings
Time takes root, time takes root
Deep in soil, in brass, in truth
Tick rests. Root grows.
