Discography

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
