Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
