Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A satellite receives but won't respond
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
A compass spins inside a locked museum
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The voltage drops when memory persists
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
The wires hum beneath the frozen lake
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
