Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
