Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
