Lyrics — Lunar Debt
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
