Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
