Lyrics — Lunar Debt
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
