Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
