Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
