Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
