Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
