The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
A satellite receives but won't respond
