Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
