Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

She folds the map and drives without a name

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A satellite receives but won't respond

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A satellite receives but won't respond

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
