Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
