Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
