Lyrics — Lunar Debt
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
