Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
