Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
