Lyrics — Velvet Rust
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
