Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
