Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
