Discography

Lyrics — Velvet Rust

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

She folds the map and drives without a name

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A compass spins inside a locked museum

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A compass spins inside a locked museum

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The voltage drops when memory persists

She folds the map and drives without a name
