Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
