Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
