Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
