Lyrics — Neon Cathedral
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
