Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
