Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
