Lyrics — Crimson Theorem
The clocks all stopped at quarter past decay
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
He trades his coat for silence and a key
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The floorboards creak in dialects of cold
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
He trades his coat for silence and a key
The harbour lights dissolve in kerosene
Between the lines the ink starts bleeding south
The garden grows in monochrome and ash
She writes her will in disappearing ink
The radio plays songs from someone else
