Lyrics — Hollow Crown
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
