Discography

Lyrics — Hollow Crown

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The voltage drops when memory persists

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A satellite receives but won't respond

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Counting shadows on the basement stairs
