Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The radio plays songs from someone else
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
