Lyrics — Iron Petals
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
