Lyrics — Iron Petals
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
