Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
