Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
