Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
