Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
