Lyrics — Iron Petals
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
