Lyrics — Iron Petals
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
