Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
