Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
