Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
