Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
