Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
