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
