Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
