Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
