Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
