Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The voltage drops when memory persists

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She folds the map and drives without a name
