Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
