Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The radio plays songs from someone else
