Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
