Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
