Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
