Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
