Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
