Discography

Lyrics — Crimson Theorem

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A satellite receives but won't respond

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A satellite receives but won't respond

She folds the map and drives without a name

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

She folds the map and drives without a name
