Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
