Lyrics — Velvet Rust
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
