Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
