Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
