Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
