Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
