Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
