Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
