Lyrics — Iron Petals
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
