Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
