Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
