Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
