Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
