Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
