Discography

Lyrics — Hollow Crown

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The radio plays songs from someone else

He trades his coat for silence and a key

She writes her will in disappearing ink

A satellite receives but won't respond

A compass spins inside a locked museum
