Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
