Lyrics — Velvet Rust
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
