Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
