Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
