Discography

Lyrics — Velvet Rust

She writes her will in disappearing ink

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The garden grows in monochrome and ash
