Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The radio plays songs from someone else
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
