Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
