Discography

Lyrics — Crimson Theorem

The radio plays songs from someone else

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
