Discography

Lyrics — Crimson Theorem

She writes her will in disappearing ink

The voltage drops when memory persists

The radio plays songs from someone else

A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain

The garden grows in monochrome and ash

The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene

Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

Counting shadows on the basement stairs

The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay

He trades his coat for silence and a key

The radio plays songs from someone else
