Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The radio plays songs from someone else

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

She folds the map and drives without a name

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
