Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A satellite receives but won't respond
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
