Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
