Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
