Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
