Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
