Discography

Lyrics — Lunar Debt

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

She folds the map and drives without a name

The voltage drops when memory persists

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A satellite receives but won't respond

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
