Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
