Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The voltage drops when memory persists
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
