Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
