Discography

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
