Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
