Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
