Lyrics — Iron Petals
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key

Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
