Lyrics — Iron Petals
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
