Discography

Lyrics — Ghost Protocol

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A satellite receives but won't respond

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A satellite receives but won't respond
