Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
