Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
