Discography

Lyrics — Hollow Crown

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

She folds the map and drives without a name

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

A satellite receives but won't respond

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

The radio plays songs from someone else

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

The ceiling drips with questions left on read
