Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
