Lyrics — Hollow Crown
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
She writes her will in disappearing ink
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
