Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
