Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
