Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
