Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
