Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
