Lyrics — Iron Petals
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
