Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
