Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A satellite receives but won't respond

A satellite receives but won't respond

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A satellite receives but won't respond

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A telescope aimed at an empty chair
