Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
