Lyrics — Iron Petals
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
