Lyrics — Iron Petals
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
