Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
The voltage drops when memory persists
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
She writes her will in disappearing ink
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
