Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A compass spins inside a locked museum
