Discography

Lyrics — Iron Petals

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

She writes her will in disappearing ink

She writes her will in disappearing ink

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A satellite receives but won't respond

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
