Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
