Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

The radio plays songs from someone else

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A satellite receives but won't respond

The voltage drops when memory persists

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The voltage drops when memory persists

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The radio plays songs from someone else

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

She folds the map and drives without a name
