Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
