Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
