Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
He trades his coat for silence and a key
