Lyrics — Hollow Crown
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The voltage drops when memory persists
The voltage drops when memory persists
She folds the map and drives without a name
