Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
