Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
