Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
