Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
