Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The radio plays songs from someone else
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
