Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
