Discography

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
