Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
