Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The voltage drops when memory persists
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
She folds the map and drives without a name
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
