Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
