Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
