Discography

Lyrics — Hollow Crown

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The radio plays songs from someone else

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The radio plays songs from someone else

A satellite receives but won't respond

A compass spins inside a locked museum

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

The voltage drops when memory persists

The radio plays songs from someone else
