Lyrics — Iron Petals
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
