Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
