Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
