Track Insight / Lyrics
Polish glass at 3 AM
Salt wind tears the hem
Beam cuts deep through fog again
Watching where the sea begins
Projector hums a dead hymn tune
Salt eats the copper wire clean
Spools turn slow beneath the moon
Keeper's light reveals the scene
Twin beams cut the midnight air
One sweeps water, one cuts prayer
Salt on glass and dust on seat
Two lost signals trying to meet
Log book lists the ships that passed
Names blurred out by spray and glass
Marquee sign flickers, dies at last
Rusted arches, broken mast
Twin beams cut the midnight air
One sweeps water, one cuts prayer
Salt on glass and dust on seat
Two lost signals trying to meet
Organ swells like ocean breath
Brass cries out a fading death
Keeper climbs the iron stair
Projectionist says his prayer
Reel-to-reel clicks, the motor sighs
Keeper's beam finds the projector's eyes
Frames of lovers burn to sky
Ash and salt where dreams used to lie
Fresnel lens and carbon arc
Twin ghosts inside a weathered lot
I trim the wick, you thread the spark
Two beams stitching up the dark
Twin beams cut the midnight air
One sweeps water, one cuts prayer
Salt on glass and dust on seat
Two lost signals finally meet
Twin beams cut the air
Salt and silver, answer prayer
