Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
