Lyrics — Hollow Crown
The radio plays songs from someone else
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She folds the map and drives without a name
The radio plays songs from someone else
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
She folds the map and drives without a name
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
