Lyrics — Iron Petals
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
