Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
