Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
