Discography

Lyrics — Crimson Theorem

A compass spins inside a locked museum

She folds the map and drives without a name

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

He trades his coat for silence and a key

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The radio plays songs from someone else

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A compass spins inside a locked museum

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The radio plays songs from someone else

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
