Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
