Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

She folds the map and drives without a name

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A compass spins inside a locked museum

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A satellite receives but won't respond

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A satellite receives but won't respond
