Lyrics — Hollow Crown
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
She folds the map and drives without a name
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A satellite receives but won't respond
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
