Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She writes her will in disappearing ink
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
