Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The voltage drops when memory persists
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
