Discography

Lyrics — Iron Petals

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The radio plays songs from someone else

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The voltage drops when memory persists
