Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
