Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
