Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
