Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The radio plays songs from someone else

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A satellite receives but won't respond

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

He trades his coat for silence and a key
