Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
