Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
