Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
