Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
