Discography

Lyrics — Hollow Crown

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

She folds the map and drives without a name

A satellite receives but won't respond

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

A satellite receives but won't respond

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

She writes her will in disappearing ink

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

A satellite receives but won't respond

The radio plays songs from someone else

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
