Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
She folds the map and drives without a name
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
