Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
