Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
