Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
