Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
