Lyrics — Iron Petals
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
