Discography

Lyrics — Ghost Protocol

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The radio plays songs from someone else

The radio plays songs from someone else

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

She folds the map and drives without a name

The voltage drops when memory persists

She folds the map and drives without a name

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
