Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
