Lyrics — Iron Petals
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
