Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
