Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
