Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The voltage drops when memory persists
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
