Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
