Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The radio plays songs from someone else
She folds the map and drives without a name
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A satellite receives but won't respond
