Lyrics — Iron Petals
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
