Lyrics — Lunar Debt
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
