Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
