Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
