Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
