Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A satellite receives but won't respond

The radio plays songs from someone else

The voltage drops when memory persists

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

She folds the map and drives without a name
