Lyrics — Iron Petals
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
