Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
