Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

The voltage drops when memory persists

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The radio plays songs from someone else

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

She folds the map and drives without a name

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The ceiling drips with questions left on read
