Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
