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
