Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
