Discography

Lyrics — Ghost Protocol

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
