Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
