Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
