Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The voltage drops when memory persists
