Lyrics — Iron Petals
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
