Lyrics — Iron Petals
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
