Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
