Track Insight / Lyrics
Cobblestone pores drink silver rain
My cellulose ribs swell and strain
Ink bleeds red like anthocyanin
Words dissolve to origin
I am letter, I am leaf
Holding secrets, holding grief
Stomata open, pulses slow
Rome awake, but not to know
Hydrangea roots crave acid soil
My lignin softens, loses coil
Address fades to pigment stain
Quercus robur drinks the rain
I am letter, I am leaf
Holding secrets, holding grief
Stomata open, pulses slow
Rome awake, but not to know
Foot tambour hits wet basalt stone
Courier's path, now overgrown
Envelope folds, a sepal tight
Guarding nothing through the night
I am letter, I am leaf
Holding secrets, holding grief
Stomata open, pulses slow
Rome awake, but not to know
Caffè doors stay locked and tight
Espresso dreams wait for the light
My fibers weave a lattice net
Capturing mist on silhouette
Xylem vessels rise and fall
Capillary rise, gravitational pull
No sender left, no return address
Just decomposition's slow progress
Pigeon toes trace braille on spine
Lichen scripts in patience line
Papaver rhoeas splits the mortar
I become water, become daughter
I am letter, I am leaf
Holding secrets, holding grief
Stomata open, pulses slow
Rome awake, now I let go
Xylem ink in Tiber flow
Pulp to humus, dark and deep
Rest now, letter, rest and sleep
