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
