Discography

Lyrics — Iron Petals

A compass spins inside a locked museum

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The radio plays songs from someone else

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The radio plays songs from someone else

The radio plays songs from someone else

A satellite receives but won't respond

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
