Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
