Lyrics — Lunar Debt
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
