Lyrics — Iron Petals
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
