Discography

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
