Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
