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
