Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
