Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
