Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
