Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
