Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
She writes her will in disappearing ink
