Discography

Lyrics — Phantom Meridian

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The voltage drops when memory persists

The garden grows in monochrome and ash
