Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
