Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
