Lyrics — Iron Petals
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
