Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

She folds the map and drives without a name

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The radio plays songs from someone else

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The voltage drops when memory persists

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
