Lyrics — Iron Petals
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
