Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
She writes her will in disappearing ink
