Discography

Lyrics — Iron Petals

A compass spins inside a locked museum

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The voltage drops when memory persists
