Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
