Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
