Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
