Lyrics — Iron Petals
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
