Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
