Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
