Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
