Lyrics — Lunar Debt
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
