Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
