Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
