Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
