Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

She folds the map and drives without a name

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A satellite receives but won't respond

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

She folds the map and drives without a name

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
