Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
