Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
