Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
