Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
