Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
