Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
