Lyrics — Iron Petals
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
