Lyrics — Iron Petals
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
