Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
