Lyrics — Iron Petals
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
