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
