Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She folds the map and drives without a name
