Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She folds the map and drives without a name
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
