Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
