Lyrics — Hollow Crown
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
