Discography

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
