Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
