Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
