Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
