Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
