Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
