Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
