Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
