Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
