Discography

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
