Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
