Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
