Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
