Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
