Lyrics — Iron Petals
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
