Lyrics — Lunar Debt
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
