Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
