Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The voltage drops when memory persists
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A satellite receives but won't respond
A satellite receives but won't respond
The radio plays songs from someone else
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
He trades his coat for silence and a key
