Lyrics — Iron Petals
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
