Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The radio plays songs from someone else
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The voltage drops when memory persists
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
