Lyrics — Iron Petals
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
