Lyrics — Iron Petals
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
