Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
