Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The radio plays songs from someone else

She folds the map and drives without a name
