Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The voltage drops when memory persists

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The voltage drops when memory persists

He trades his coat for silence and a key

She writes her will in disappearing ink
