Lyrics — Iron Petals
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
