Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
