Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
