Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
The radio plays songs from someone else
A diesel heart pumps mercury and rain
The radio plays songs from someone else
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
A payphone rings in rooms that don't exist
A satellite receives but won't respond
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Counting shadows on the basement stairs
A compass spins inside a locked museum
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
