Lyrics — Iron Petals
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
