Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
