Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
