Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
