Lyrics — Iron Petals
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
