Lyrics — Hollow Crown
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A satellite receives but won't respond
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A compass spins inside a locked museum
She folds the map and drives without a name
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
