Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

He trades his coat for silence and a key

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The voltage drops when memory persists

The radio plays songs from someone else

A satellite receives but won't respond
