Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
