Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
