Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
