Lyrics — Iron Petals
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She folds the map and drives without a name
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
