Lyrics — Iron Petals
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
