Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
