Lyrics — Iron Petals
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
