Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
