Discography

Lyrics — Hollow Crown

A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

A satellite receives but won't respond

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The ceiling drips with questions left on read

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

The wires hum beneath the frozen lake

Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south

He trades his coat for silence and a key

A compass spins inside a locked museum

The radio plays songs from someone else

The floorboards creak in dialects of cold

She writes her will in disappearing ink

Rust collects where fingerprints should be
