Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She folds the map and drives without a name
