Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

She folds the map and drives without a name

She folds the map and drives without a name

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A satellite receives but won't respond

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She writes her will in disappearing ink
