Lyrics — Hollow Crown
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The radio plays songs from someone else
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
