Lyrics — Iron Petals
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
