Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
She folds the map and drives without a name
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
