Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
