Discography

Lyrics — Ghost Protocol

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The voltage drops when memory persists

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

She folds the map and drives without a name

The radio plays songs from someone else

She folds the map and drives without a name

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The voltage drops when memory persists

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
