Lyrics — Iron Petals
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
