Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
