Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
