Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The radio plays songs from someone else
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The radio plays songs from someone else
The radio plays songs from someone else
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
