You drift through chrome veins where rain writes acid psalms
Your spruce top remembers Picea abies calm
Neon burns through varnish artificial dawn
But xylem drinks deep what the sky has drawn
Wood remembers what the forest knew
Maple heart beats black in electric blue
Roots reach through concrete seeking soil true
Bow sings growth rings in night city dew
Ebony fingerboard Diospyros dense
Your neck holds tension slow cellulose sense
Holograms flicker on curved maple flank
But lignin stands firm where the weak ones sank
Wood remembers what the forest knew
Maple heart beats black in electric blue
Roots reach through concrete seeking soil true
Bow sings growth rings in night city dew
Pernambuco bow kisses steel string cry
Horsehair pulls resin from years gone by
Each note a photon green light stored in wood
Cambium wakes where the subway stood
Steam rises warm from the grate below
Mycorrhizal threads in the dark they grow
No sunlight needed just vibration's call
The violin remembers it once was tall
Foot stomp rhythm shakes the drainage grate
Your scroll curls inward sealing fate
F-hole breathes in neon exhales rain
Heartwood sings through pleasure and pain
Wood remembers what the forest knew
Maple heart beats black in electric blue
Roots reach through concrete seeking soil true
Bow sings growth rings in night city dew
Dawn cracks purple on the horizon line
Your varnish drinks gold Picea shine
The city sleeps but you keep growing still
Rooted in music rooted in will
Wood remembers what the forest knew
Maple heart beats black in electric blue
Roots reach through concrete seeking soil true
Bow sings growth rings in night city dew
Wood remembers wood remains
Spruce sings soft in electric veins
