Discography

Lyrics — Iron Petals

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A compass spins inside a locked museum

She folds the map and drives without a name

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

Counting shadows on the basement stairs
