Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
