Lyrics — Velvet Rust
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
