Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
