Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

She folds the map and drives without a name

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The voltage drops when memory persists
