Lyrics — Iron Petals
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
