Lyrics — Velvet Rust
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
