Lyrics — Iron Petals
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
