Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
