Discography

Lyrics — Hollow Crown

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

She folds the map and drives without a name

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

He trades his coat for silence and a key

She writes her will in disappearing ink

He trades his coat for silence and a key

He trades his coat for silence and a key

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The radio plays songs from someone else

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

Rust collects where fingerprints should be
