Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
