Lyrics — Velvet Rust
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
