Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
