Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
