Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
