Discography

Lyrics — Crimson Theorem

Rust collects where fingerprints should be

The voltage drops when memory persists

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A satellite receives but won't respond

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The garden grows in monochrome and ash
