Lyrics — Iron Petals
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
