Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
