Lyrics — Lunar Debt
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
