Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
