Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
