Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A satellite receives but won't respond
