Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
