Lyrics — Iron Petals
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
