Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum

The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
