Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
