Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
