Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
