Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
