Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The voltage drops when memory persists

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A satellite receives but won't respond

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The radio plays songs from someone else

She folds the map and drives without a name
