Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
