Lyrics — Iron Petals
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
