Lyrics — Iron Petals
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
