Lyrics — Iron Petals
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
