Discography

Lyrics — Iron Petals

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The voltage drops when memory persists

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
