Lyrics — Velvet Rust
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
