Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
