Lyrics — Iron Petals
A satellite receives but won't respond
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
