Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
