Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
