Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The radio plays songs from someone else

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

She folds the map and drives without a name

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
