Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

The voltage drops when memory persists

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

She folds the map and drives without a name

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
