Lyrics — Iron Petals
She folds the map and drives without a name
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
