Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
