Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
