Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
