Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
