Lyrics — Iron Petals
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
