Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
