Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
