Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
