Lyrics — Lunar Debt
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
