Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The voltage drops when memory persists
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
