Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
