Lyrics — Velvet Rust
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
