Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
