Lyrics — Velvet Rust
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
