Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
