Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
