Lyrics — Iron Petals
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
