Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
