Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
