Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
