Discography

Lyrics — Neon Cathedral

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The radio plays songs from someone else

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
