Lyrics — Iron Petals
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
