Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
