Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
