Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
