Lyrics — Hollow Crown
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
