Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
