Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Rust collects where fingerprints should be
