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
