Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
