Lyrics — Lunar Debt
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
