Lyrics — Iron Petals
A satellite receives but won't respond
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
