Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
