Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
