Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
