Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
