Lyrics — Velvet Rust
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
