Discography

Lyrics — Velvet Rust

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

She writes her will in disappearing ink

She folds the map and drives without a name

She folds the map and drives without a name

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The radio plays songs from someone else

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A satellite receives but won't respond

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Counting shadows on the basement stairs
