Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
A satellite receives but won't respond
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
The voltage drops when memory persists
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
