Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
