Discography

Lyrics — Crimson Theorem

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A compass spins inside a locked museum

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

A telescope aimed at an empty chair

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

A telescope aimed at an empty chair
