Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
