Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
