Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
