Lyrics — Velvet Rust
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
