Lyrics — Iron Petals
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
