Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
