Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
