Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

She folds the map and drives without a name

The radio plays songs from someone else

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The radio plays songs from someone else

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A compass spins inside a locked museum

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The ceiling drips with questions left on read
