Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

A satellite receives but won't respond

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A compass spins inside a locked museum

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

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A satellite receives but won't respond

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The voltage drops when memory persists

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

She folds the map and drives without a name

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Rust collects where fingerprints should be
