Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A satellite receives but won't respond

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The garden grows in monochrome and ash
