Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
