Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
