Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
