Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
