Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
