Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
