Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
