Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
