Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
