Lyrics — Iron Petals
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
