Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
