Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
