Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
