Lyrics — Iron Petals
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
