Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
