Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
