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
