Lyrics — Iron Petals
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
