Discography

Lyrics — Ghost Protocol

She writes her will in disappearing ink

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

She folds the map and drives without a name

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A satellite receives but won't respond

The voltage drops when memory persists

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The voltage drops when memory persists

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
