Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
