Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
