Lyrics — Iron Petals
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
