Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
