Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A satellite receives but won't respond
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
