Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
