Discography

Lyrics — Iron Petals

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The radio plays songs from someone else

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The radio plays songs from someone else

The voltage drops when memory persists

A satellite receives but won't respond
