Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
