Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The radio plays songs from someone else
The voltage drops when memory persists
The ceiling drips with questions left on read
A satellite receives but won't respond
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
A compass spins inside a locked museum
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
A satellite receives but won't respond
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A compass spins inside a locked museum
