Lyrics — Velvet Rust
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
