Discography

Lyrics — Neon Cathedral

He trades his coat for silence and a key

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The voltage drops when memory persists

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A compass spins inside a locked museum
