Lyrics — Iron Petals
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
