Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
