Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
