Lyrics — Velvet Rust
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
