Lyrics — Iron Petals
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
The radio plays songs from someone else
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
