Lyrics
You trace the silver line above your knuckle
From that stubborn Sitka spruce that wouldn't buckle.
The chisel slipped in the August heat,
the scent of cedar dust and your own defeat.
You wear the warp of it, the pull and bind,
a story woven on the back of your hand.

a map of all the falls in narrow ditches.
And you learned some wood is meant to split apart,
to show the wilder grain inside its heart.
[Outro]
You wear the seam.
You let it show.
