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
