Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A satellite receives but won't respond

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She folds the map and drives without a name

The voltage drops when memory persists

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The voltage drops when memory persists

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The ceiling drips with questions left on read
