Lyrics — Ghost Protocol
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
