Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
