Lyrics — Iron Petals
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
