Lyrics — Iron Petals
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
