Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
