Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
