Lyrics — Iron Petals
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
