Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
