Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
