Lyrics — Iron Petals
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
