Discography

Lyrics — Neon Cathedral

The radio plays songs from someone else

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

She folds the map and drives without a name

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

She folds the map and drives without a name

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

She folds the map and drives without a name

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The voltage drops when memory persists
