Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
