Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
