Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
