Discography

Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The voltage drops when memory persists

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

She folds the map and drives without a name

The radio plays songs from someone else

A compass spins inside a locked museum
