Lyrics — Obsidian Lullaby
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
