Discography

Lyrics — Crimson Theorem

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The radio plays songs from someone else

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
