Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
