Lyrics — Velvet Rust
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
