Lyrics — Lunar Debt
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
