Lyrics — Iron Petals
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
